   Lolbug!
  Okay - this is hands down the funniest fail I've seen my computer go through (probably a Firefox bug) and I'm actually reluctant to restart FF or the computer right now.Here it is: my internet only works (web pages only load) when I move my mouse (this includes downloads).Although it seems to affect other functionality as well - for instance, know that "All downloads have finished" popup that sneaks up on you from underneath the system tray? Well, that only sneaks in and out when I move the mouse as well.This is Summer Challenge all over again (damn yous, cycling - you broke both of the enter keys on my keyboard back in the day! :D)*.Alright, actually that's it - I'm restarting FF. This is retarded - I keep forgetting to move the mouse.* don't even get me started on cross country from Winter Challenge - that's another keyboard right there...   
  I have no idea what you are talking about, so here is a <furry creature> with a <breakfast flatbread> on its head.   ;  Did you post the correct link? Not sure what epic fail you're talking about. I watched that whole video waiting for something to happen and it was a complete anticlimax.[Edited by - Beverly Mcadoo on September 8, 2010 8:58:27 AM];  Noo! The videos are irrelevant (well, almost) :). The bug was simply what I described it to be - at one, completely random, point FF failed miserably and only started browsing/loading pages/downloading files while I was (actively) moving my mouse.If you haven't played Winter/Summer Challenge, then you probably don't know that in order to run/move/ski in those games you need to tap the Enter key. Like, a lot. As fast as possible. You'll soon figure out that tapping both Enter keys at the same time can be slightly more efficient. Cross country (from Winter) and cycling (from Summer) are endurance sports where you have to keep smashing your Enter keys for several minutes in a row. Besides being really bad for your keyboard, the connection with the bug here is that you only keep moving while you're tapping...Blah, I figured these games would be better known TBH.   ;  Actually I've had that happen to me as well. Everything will freeze. But if I start sliding my mouse back and forth continuously, then video will load, music will play and web pages will actually render. If I stop, everything on the page stops. This seems to happen alot on heavy, heavy multimedia pages, but it's happened randomly on sites like youtube as well.So yeah, it's a lolbug.;  I assume the cause is screwed-up interrupt routing, causing incoming network data to only be handled when the USB interrupt fires.   ;Quote:Original post by SneftelI assume the cause is screwed-up interrupt routing, causing incoming network data to only be handled when the USB interrupt fires.That's one wild guess. I'm not sure if the touchpad runs on a USB bus or not.Personally I imagine it's more probable the code is at fault. Probably something along these lines:case WM_MOUSEMOVE:  if(bDoLolbug)    {    ReceiveAndSendBytes(abs((y - yPrev) * (x - xPrev)));    //uncomment to patronize user; James, 08.06.2009    //Print("U R lol");    break;    }case WM_TIMER:  bDoLolbug ? break : BrowseAndSuch();  if(rand()%RAND_MAX > (RAND_MAX - iProbabilityOfLolbug))    bDoLolbug = true;  break;;Quote:Original post by irreversibleQuote:Original post by SneftelI assume the cause is screwed-up interrupt routing, causing incoming network data to only be handled when the USB interrupt fires.That's one wild guess.

Probably something along these lines:*** Source Snippet Removed ***I've actually had this bug while watching porn. It seems that certain flash based video players exhibit this behaviour; as if the window is not receiving repaint events because somebody did a mouse-over hack on that video player and broke it.So, the diagnosis should be obvious...THIS BOY HAS BEEN LOOKING AT PORN
