It had only esoteric jargon meanings, and there'd > be no way for me to know which (if any) was the one Silvio meant. I just googled "IoT". The top results were: 3 ads about "Internet of Things" Wikipedia entry for "Internet of Things" Wikipedia entry for IOT [disambiguation page, listing "Inductive output tube", "In-Out-Through", "inter-operator tariff, "Internet of Things", "Interoperability testing", "Input-Output Transfer", "Index-Organized Table", "Illuminates of Thanateros", and "British Indian Ocean Territory"] News article about Intel creating an IoT group with tech leaders ... and several more pages about Internet of Things." Given all of that information and the original context of his post, one could reasonably assume that the most logical answer was Illuminates of Thanateros... I mean Internet of Things. :-) I'll be fair, I didn't immediately connect "IoT" with "Internet of Things." It took me a few seconds before coming up with a potential acronym; even if I hadn't, Google seems to indicate that "Internet of Things" is by far the most important expansion of that acronym, so much so that I would call it a "common meaning"--even if it's a common meaning that doesn't extend beyond the people who are likely to use it (think something like HTTP or TCP). -- Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E. Knuth
