I've written to Linus. I know it's frustrating, but if you can, please be patient as it is the holiday weekend and I'm sure we're all hoping that he's having a fun holiday.
I'm sure he'll respond as soon as he sees this and figures out what the issue is
In the meantime, try not to beat up your computer
I know you feel like this
If you CAN use a different browser, like IE or Mozilla, do so in the meantime and no doubt Linus will be here as soon as he can to help
If anyone else is having the same problems, please also post here so we have an idea how widespread this issue is
