I have a very hard time believing that the govenment will allow you to claim java and thus your computer as a dependent at tax time. OOHH that isn't what you meant then maybe you should specify. dependent how? dependent on what ?
There are likely 50 questions that could be made from that statement. If you err your friend was at an interview and that is how the company asked it and you didn't ask for clarification then I wouldn't be hiring you.

Well it depends if there is a virtual machine to run Java, so Java is dependent on a JVM.

>>java is dependent...justifyy..This is actually a common misconception. Java's actually COdependent, as evidenced by its ease of use, incredible SDKs, and the wicked-sick IDEs available. Clearly, it cares too much about its developers.Joe

It's not just *if* there's a VM. The VM itself is platform-dependent.
Your wording is kind of vague, but I assume the question was something like, "Java claims to be platform-independent, but it is at least partially platform-dependent. Explain."
Java is platform-independent in that for many requirements, you can write and compile code where the same class files will work on any platform with a VM of the appropriate version--Windows, Linux, Mac... No need to write different code for different platforms, or even to recompile. This is because your Java code always runs on the same platform.
Java is platform-dependent in that the VM must be different for each platform. The VM provides the abstraction that lets your Java code think it's always running on the same platform, but of course a VM that runs on Windows will be different from one that runs on Linux. *SOMETHING* has to deal with the differences among the various platforms, and that's the VM's job.

If that was really the question it is the interviewer who should have been failed.

Perhaps some interview questions are posed to test knowledge, and others posed to test reactions to stress. My reaction would be to beat the interviewer senseless.I don't handle stress very well.

I would have just said 'the question is meaningless, next?'

Perhaps it is a test to see how the interviewee reacts to a really stupid question?

possibly, or a test to see how interviewers hold up when having to ask really stupid questions?
