I have a couple observations: - Java is cross-platform, but the concept of PID isn't. (Though most modern OS support it.) - Java is an object byte-code that runs on a virtual machine, and it's the virtual machine that has the PID not the object byte-code, so what does a PID r

If you are looking for something simple, have you exammined WebDAV? Windows users can treat the "web space" much like a network drive to drop files onto it, use of ssl with it permits encryption of authentication, content can be made available for other users with read-only access if shared folders

hi rod, well, the math looks good, but you most likely knew that anyhow. the relative error between 325 watts and 250 watts is about 23%. pretty high, imho. the implicit assumption is that the dial's rotational speed increases linearly with energy consumption. i have no inner feeling for whet

I got my first electric bill at the new house; looks too high. So I decided to do an experiment. Outside the house is an electric meter. It reads KWH accumulated on 5 dials, and has a horizontal platter that appears to spin about 100 revolutions per KWH (anyone know if this is exactly true for a
