Weirdest. Bug. Ever.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

For reference here's the culprit. Strangely, the same goes for the "O RRY?" variation.

Has anyone else had this problem?

didn't crash me. Where's the original site?

The image I linked to doesn't crash my browser; it is but a small, benign version of the horrid thing. [livejournal.com profile] will63's latest post killed my browser dead.

That's the biggest animated gif I've ever seen. But I didn't crash.

How Odd.

That didn't do it.

It is clearly the owl, not the phrase.

If it was the one at orizzle.ytmnd.com, it didn't crash Safari for me. Hmm.

I'm narrowing it down:

Any large O RLY? owl on LJ.

O Rly?

Ya Rly.

O snap.

Not rly.

Huh? Wha...? It shows up in other browsers though, right?

Yep. Internet Explorer isn't a problem.

That is really a bizarre bug. As far as I can tell, that little owl is just a run-of-the-mill jpeg image. Weird!

If they were storing the animated gif in a fixed-length buffer internally, you might run into this problem. I have a hard time believing Apple would make such an amateurish mistake: a sure way to find out whether this is the case would be to create an animated gif that was equally big (in uncompressed form) and try displaying that.

It's a good idea, but they don't show up often enough to make it worthwhile to test out the theory.

I've run into a few weird things with Safari, though; makes me wonder if it's just a buggy program.

I'd love to be the support person checking this one out.

I like to think that I made someone's day. Safari crashes a lot, and when it happens repeatedly I have a tendency to send strange things to the tech support people.

That's the funniest error message I've seen. I bet it's a hoax written in by the maker of the animation.

It's what pops up when a program crashes in OSX -- you're supposed to write in that bottom part what you did to make it crash. So that's what I wrote. I think the people who have to read all of those probably get bored, so I like to write in things that might amuse them.

Whoa Nly.

This is turning into the O'Really Factor ... which is now a book.

O RLY!!!!!!!

(Who cut off my mic?)

You have discovered B-25, known colloquially as the "O RLY" Basilisk (http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/stories/blit.htm). Be sure to wear protective specs next time.

Haha. It's time to play "post macros and see which ones will kill [livejournal.com profile] sabotabby's browser. ;)

Speaking of computers and computer speak, I had to send you this tidbit. ... Except I think the author meant to say "Eighteenth century."

I fear that I speak intarwebs better than I speak pirate, even though pirate is a better dialect. I need to work on that.

Bush will probably ignore this warning as well.
