it's no longer at the mercy of scratches and hot sunlight.
it reads your number plate, and consults the DVLA database to see if the car that corresponds to that registration has got a valid tax disk.
RFID sensors are *way* cheaper than cameras, both for installation, and more importantly in terms of processing resources required to identify a car - no vision problems, just nice simple RFID tags.

i live in the UK, and i'm constantly amazed at the invasive loss of civil liberties the labour government's inflicting on us. still, last nights local election results is a finger in each eye to them, at least.

one 180BHP, one 150BHP. note that the audi TT 225BHP 1.8T *does* have a bigger turbo: the seat doesn't. it has a different ECU program.
this is why for 400UKP companies like www.jabbasport.co.uk will chip your 150BHP car up to 200-odd BHP.
if you've got standard equipment, it's going to make one metric F-all's worth of difference. If you're using any RF transmitter/receiver equipment (we use ECG telemetry, for example) then your vendor will advise and certify.
Remember the inverse square law.

...not funny. you really *aren't* ever going to use that stack of ISA crap in the corner, or those funny PSUs that only work in some desktop last on sale when flares were in fashion. Keep a small number of genuinely useful bits (say an ISA network card, a few old EDO RAM sticks, etc) and just chuck the rest.
"Are there any special considerations when designing my server room that I need to be aware of?"
Um, yes. If, say, your servers are maintained by a third party, they'll have all sorts of environmental requirements (security, hookup to BMS fire alarm, aircon of sufficient quality/performance/with a good maintenance contract) etc etc. Likewise, if your business is insured against the costs (both material and in terms of lost productivity) of damage, then the insurers will want to know you're not keeping the boxes in a broom cupboard under the hot water pipes.
If not, then I guess it depends if you want to keep your job should the balloon go up.
On our site we put them above the water table, for example.
If you have a *really* crappy environment and can't do the building work, you can buy something like a Lampertz cabinet: basically a large bombproof/radiation proof/waterproof safe that surrounds your racks.
If you're not sure, get someone who specialises in this to do the work.
you'll get a standard warranty on a retail one, and you get 3 years if you use their heatsink/fan. this is because of all the failures, the vast majority are due to people fucking it up when they install an aftermarket fan and crack the die or similar. likewise, a thermal pad's easier for joe sixpack to not cock up. intel's using the original fan carrot as a way to reduce the amount of arguing with kids who can't overclock properly - those of us who know what they're doing will be using decent heatsinks and fans, with thermal paste, and taking it on the chin if every now and again that means accidentaly bending a pin or screwing it up.

that's how it works. 2k server doesn't support over 4 CPUs, advanced server does - it's one of the reasons it's called advanced...
what are you smoking?
2k server does, mind. i've got six DL380's in front of me with dual HT xeons, and task manager shows them as 4 CPUs.
