    Geek humour

    I spent ~25 hours tracking down a bug in Firefox's Javascript engine, which we embed in our app. This included upgrading it from the one from FF 1.5 to the one from FF 4.0, which is much more complex (and faster). It still did not solve my problem, which was a crash bug.

    So I took it upon myself to dig in and fix the bug. Eventually I fixed it with just one line:

    Code:
    if (!fun) goto error;
    "fun" stands for "function", but "!fun" describes exactly how painful this situation was.

    Even more fun is now that I've made changes to the sourcecode, I need to go through hours of legal work including documenting the change and making it available to Mozilla & anyone who asks.

    Carry on...

      Does programming software usually suck that much or is that just how it is on a bad day?

                It's probably because Randall Munroe has cancer?

                    Yes.

                        Shouldn't that be if (MrFun)?

                              Actually, question about that. What programming language is that, and why would a function itself have a value of "false" as opposed to fun()==false? Is it some sort of function pointer?
