It's ShockWave that is crashing. It gave errors on FireFox as well, but the difference is that it didn't take the whole program down.
Got a tip for us?

Does anyone know if the actual browser has that ugly massive white curser (Windows-style) or if that's just their in the demo?
Everyone still here? Safari still working for everyone? Am I the only one with a working Safari?

Crashed
I reported the link to Apple when prompted after it crashed. I hope the message reaches them rather than just going to /dev/null. Even if it is a Flash issue, Safari should be more graceful in handling the problem.
I hope to see a Phone using OSX technology to compete with phones using Mobile Windows technology. A browser based on Safari technologies is a good step forward along with phones that support H.264 video. My wishlist would be massive support for iSync and iTunes support with cool phones.

No offence, but Stella is expensive nasty lager. Certainly not comparable to many good lagers from Europe, in particular Germany and the Czech Republic. In fact many Polish (Okocim, for example), Ukrainian and Russian lagers are pretty good as well.
As an aside, that website crashed Firefox 1.5 RC1 when I clicked on Experience It.
It is shockwave - with firefox it gives an error message like - shockwave performed an illegal operation.... -just update itBornAgainMac said:

actually, it is. It does not fix any problem, but people always bring it up as a last resort after they have deleted preferences files.
On MacOS 7/8/9 the magic bullet was to "rebuild the desktop database". Usually didn't fix a freakin' thing but rumor had it it would mysteriously solve all problems. Other examples are defragging file systems, cleaning out registry keys or reinstalling Windows...

Actually, repairing permissions helped a member today with Mail not loading after 10.4.3. I agree though, it gets recommended far more often than it should.

Yesterday I was trying to get the 10.4.3 update from Software Update and it kept refusing to install, and quitting. I repaired permissions and *hey presto* it went on fine.
Repairing permissions does solve a lot of problems. As to why, I really couldn't tell you. Something to do with application prebinding?

If you are a UNIX guy, it shouldn't really be all that foreign to you. If your OS is trying to directly run a program and the binary itself doesn't have execute permissions, its going to refuse to run (permission denied). Now imagine that a program you are running is running another little program which calls another little program, etc. Somewhere in the chain, the binary doesn't have execute permissions, or maybe is referencing a file it doesn't have read permissions to. If this hasn't been accounted for, behavior becomes unpredictable.
For some reason, permissions in OS X have a tendency to get really screwed up. I think it might have to do with (mostly) 3rd party software not cleaning up its own mess, and maybe a bit of leftover garbage from unexpected quits and the like.
Repairing permissions goes through your / and resets your files to the proper permissions. I don't know what it is referencing to do so, but I do know that it can solve strange problems and save you hours of troubleshooting. It takes 5 minutes or so...its worth my time even if it does nothing.
The site crashed my safari also
ut, I am in the market for a new phone which will allow me to check on my servers, and do light maintenance. This looks like it will do the job, especially the new N92, it sure is ugly but has a nice big screen.
I'll have to look and wee which carriers sell the phone.

Except Series 60 has been supported by iSync for quite some time.
My old old Nokia 3650 works just fine, and iSync just installs a neat little package on the phone to be its conduit. The new E series and N series phones should work just fine. Probably a plist hack at first to make it install the sis package, and then full support in another dot release of OS X.sparkleytone said:
I have been doing heavy unix administration and engineering for a good portion of my life of all flavors of unix. I have never seen permissions just randomly 'flipping around'. Sure, you can blame a 3rd party product for mucking around in the file system and changing things. The real question is what does 'repair permissions' do? What subset of files is it querying as the 'authoritive source' of information of how the permissions should be set? And if this thing exists, why can't 3rd party developers muck that up too? Very bizarre...
