Chromium crash on Arch Linux with this message: http://pastebin.com/f9JMsPzT terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range' what(): bitset::set [1] 4934 abort (core dumped) chromium singing out of sync for now.. Edit: no crashes since I signed out of sync Edit2: found a more complete stack trace by somebody else: https://gist.github.com/4251938 Bug Report: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/…

Wow, a lot of people use Chromium over Chrome because of "omg botnet" - I wonder why Google downtime would cause vanilla Chromium to crash?

They do? I thought they just disliked undebuggable proprietary plugins.

I thought Chromium still had all the google tie-in issue. If I remember correctly what they pulled out was license encumbered features like font rendering. I know there were forks like iron that pull out the privacy features.

Google services use SPDY connections. I wonder if it has a bug in its implementation... not many sites use the protocl.

Well, outlook.com / live.com email is pretty nice nowadays. I'm tempted to forward my personal gmail stuff there for a while to see how it holds up.

Or you could go for a paid service without the ads. And we don't sell your data :) http://fastmail.fm /bias

gmail sells your data?

Or maybe you have so few users, that when it does go down no one notices?

Monitoring is a beautiful thing.

So you're telling me that in 11 years, your server has never been down, even for a reboot, software update or hardware failure?

Going on 11 years here with no real issues.

Define "no real issues" cos I would define GMail going down for some users in parts of the world for a short period of time as "no real issue".

Note that the article/video is from last March. http://www.theonion.com/search/?q=google+gmail

That's about the right amount of time for reality to imitate parody.
