#801: Golden Hammer explain
[Black Hat is going through a door, an almost-empty bottle in his hand. A voice speaks to him from off panel.]
Cueball: Seriously? This thing runs Java? It’s single-purpose hardware!
[Cueball is sitting at a computer, holding some device which is wired to a box, and pointing at the screen.]
Cueball: 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.
[Black Hat has a pair of bolt cutters in his hand that had been obscured in the first panel.]
Black Hat: 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.
Cueball: I’m glad *you *had a nice night.
