All Implemented Interfaces:

public class UpdateCheck
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Runnable

Threaded class to check for updates in the background.

This is the class that handles the mind control and stuff for spying on our users and stealing their personal information. A random ID number is generated for each user, and hits the server to check for updates. Also included is the operating system and its version and the version of Java being used to run Processing.

The ID number also helps provide us a general idea of how many people are using Processing, which helps us when writing grant proposals and that kind of thing so that we can keep Processing free.
