::I think they meant that the OS could be built in a manner similar to the StackSort, taking various snippets of phone-os code and putting them together.

− | ::Stackoverflow is named after the error in Java that occurs when the Java virtual machine's stack memory is exceeded. This is generally caused by a serious memory leak or an infinite recursion has occurred. Definitely not an attractive feature in an OS. Also, since Android runs using Java on the Davek virtual machine, it does actually throw stack overflow errors on occasion. -- | + | ::Stackoverflow is named after the error in Java that occurs when the Java virtual machine's stack memory is exceeded.

:::Stack overflows have existed in computing from the first stack-based machines, which were invented back before the inventors of Java were probably born! OK, small exaggeration - maybe. First date I can see in this Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_machine is 1961. --[[User:RenniePet|RenniePet]] ([[User talk:RenniePet|talk]]) 13:51, 28 December 2014 (UTC) | :::Stack overflows have existed in computing from the first stack-based machines, which were invented back before the inventors of Java were probably born!
