To the technically savvy: when a variable is initialised with 'garbage' is it the same garbage all the time?

The answer is "maybe" it would depend where the garbage is coming from. Usually (I'd say maybe 99% of the time), if you reboot the system and try again, it should give you different garbage. However, the fact that it is happening on different systems, with different configurations makes me think it is not garbage because surely different people would have different stuff in their RAM. However personally, I just see black for color 16.
