What Happened to Your Browser When You Get Rickrolled

What happens to your browser when you get Rickrolled? Carlos Bueno visualized the network packets of a YouTube video, slowed down 12 times:

You can clearly see the handshake, some odd client/server negotiation, and the full ramp-up.

Created using Packet Flight: github.com/aristus/packet-flight

Each flying circle represents a network packet. The small green ones are control packets: ACK, SYN, etc. The larger blue ones are data packets.

The data is from a real tcpdump of the first 4 seconds of Rick Astley's music video.

Your browser's no stranger to TCP/IP. It knows the rules and so does YouTube: Link [embedded Vimeo clip]

Look at the photo. See those big empty areas in the middle? That's tissue loss. Lots of tissue loss. When Terry Schaivo was finally allowed to die, they measured her brain, which had atrophied to I think 39 percent of it's original size. Even if these people can be reached, which I doubt, what does that mean? Are we keeping them alive for the "benefit" of their families, but they are suffering?

Excellent. Being able to answer yes or no questions means a patient would be able to let others know their wishes about being kept on life support or allowed to die.

At least, some would be able to communicate their wishes--I'm sure that brains atrophied to different degrees and in different regions would prevent communication.
