Another question for ineededausername:

What if I posted exactly on 2012-06-01 00:00:00 (according to the forum, basically posting before 00:00:01)? Does this qualify as "before"?

Why would that be "before?"  Before is equivalent to "<" not "<=". 
(On that note, does English have a word for <= when it comes to time? Tongue)

Another question-- is this, or will it be, open-sourced?

Didn't read the thread, eh? Smiley Yes, the source will be released soon.
I skimmed it, but I must have missed that.  Thanks.

It would also be very nice if you could detect a laptop/device running on battery power and not mine in that case.  http://www.google.com/search?q=get%20battery%20level%20java

That would be nice, but sadly a standard way of getting battery level information in Java doesn't seem to exist. You may be able to get it on some phones, but I don't think an unsigned applet can get that kind of information when running on a laptop.
I'm not a Java expert, but it would appear to be possible by interfacing with native OS APIs.  For example, on Windows, use JNI or JNA to call native Windows API functions to monitor battery status. Native calls could also be investigated for Linux and OSX.

Calling OS API functions from Java:
JNA http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2389156/calling-win32-api-method-from-java
JNI http://www.atwistedweb.com/java/jni.html

Windows Battery API functions:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3154554/how-do-i-get-battery-information-in-windows
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/233446/monitor-battery-charge-with-win32-api

I'm not saying it's easy or even possible at this point, but I think it warrants a bit more investigation.

You also wouldn't want to mine if someone visits on a smartphone or some other low-powered device, but I guess the 2-core threshold will take care of that.
Not completely: dual-core mobile phones already exist. I will investigate, thank you for the suggestion!
You're welcome.
