Okay Java gurus, I've come to the conclusion Java was designed to drive 
you insane whenever you need to convert types.  I'm trying to take two 
java.lang.Objects which are a series of numbers subtract one from the 
other and store the result in a long value.  I've tried:

(long)theObject
(Long)theObject
Long.parseLong(theObject)

I'm exhausted....

Enlightenment would be blessed...

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
