[[A man with a black hat is going through a door, a bottle in his hand. A voice speaks to him from off panel.]]
Person: Seriously? This thing runs
Java
? It's single-purpose hardware!
[[The person is sitting at a computer, holding some device which is wired to a box, and pointing at the screen.]]
Person: I bet they actually hired someone to spend six months porting this JVM so they could write their 20 lines of code in a familiar setting.
[[The man with a black hat has a pair of bolt cutters in the hand that had been obscured in the first panel.]]
Black hat guy: Well, you know what they say -- when all you have is a pair of bolt cutters and a bottle of vodka, everything looks like the lock on the door of Wolf Blitzer's boathouse.
Person: I'm glad
you
had a nice night.
{{Title text: Took me five tries to find the right one, but I managed to salvage our night out--if not the boat--in the end.}}
