Any chance you ran any Intel chips on that OS? If so, how did they fair?
I've got a theory that Intel has always been a premium hardware with superior software support at a premium price point as compared to ATI and nVidia. Their compilers are objectively better on their hardware (once again, at a premium price) when running multiple threads, IIRC, as well.
If you jailbreak, you can get a lightweight JVM/JIT package from Cydia. Haven't tried it, but it installs, FWIW. I don't know how complete the libs are, but there isn't any reason you can't cross compile the Sun JVM to ARM (although memory might be a problem on 4th Gen hardware).
How about, "Talented, but broke in to the servers on campus (insert each of these variants: out of boredom, curiosity, anger, jealousy, to prove a point, just being an asshat) in college?"
I think everyone with talent has pushed the envelope with regards to the letter of the law for one reason or another. In fact, I've known few good programmers who won't admit that they did some stupid things in their youth as they learned more about computers.
You know, I remember reading about expert systems when I was a kid... are they any better or more intelligent than they were 15 years ago? Expert systems seems to be like artificial intelligence; mostly unheard of outside of academia with very few breakthroughs technologically.
FWIW, FF1 is still my Final Fantasy. I wasn't old enough (26 now) at the time it came out to appreciate it for what it was (and how they fit all that game play into the constraints of an NES cartridge), but I realized when FF7(IIRC) came out and I needed a Voodoo2 to enjoy it... the magic somehow died just a little. Everyone was talking about how 'pretty' the game was, but that was never the point of FF up until that release.
Then again, they seem to have done well selling to casual gamers and console gamers since then, so I can't complain; the franchise is still around while others have died a slow and painful death.
I am not familiar with this game...but it sounds too intriguing; too much like the X series (I killed a semester playing X2: The Threat) to not kill a few hundred hours of my life on.
I'd be more worried about VZ pushing a bad update that bricks the fleet. They already hold all the keys (as I'm reminded when they push crap to my BlackBerry). In any case, I'm more afraid of incompetence than malice.

OTOH, it might be another Diakatana.
*Starts the 'slow clap'*
That was... awesome!
Don't use green for tubes. Many people are color blind to green.
Well, Evian spelled backwards is naive.
Have you updated your kernel lately?
Some of these "smart trash cans" will never be profitable, but will be a loss for the city and for the environment (more e-waste for the landfill).

*Sigh* I meant pre-4th Gen hardware.

Sulphur, I've got some good news and some bad news for you...

That's a freakin' unicorn, not a pony. :)
I see you haven't played the "PulseAudio" edition. It's like Dance, Dance Revolution, but without any dancing or music but with a lot more swearing.
Crap, kid; I'm 26. Now I _really_ feel old! Get off my lawn!
Are you implying that Sys Admins are Simon and Garfunkle fans?

Perhaps the analogy you were reaching for is something akin to IPv6?

Oh, my bad :)

What city are you in?
Old people are annoying.
[...] Opendedup runs in user space, making it platform independent, easier to scale and cluster, [...]
... and slow, prone to locking issues, etc. There's a reason no one runs ZFS over FUSE, why would we do it with this?
