Light beam gives accurate timing.
E-Tag (as used in motorway tolling) identifies the car.

Software matches the potentially less precise E-Tag activation time to the accurate light beam detection and you have your car and time recorded.
Hi Jeff, top stuff. Email sent.
Our business day starts about 12 hours before yours on Monday. Any chance of a reply before then, even a very brief one?
Thanks mate, great info.:cheers:
Ball park is good enough for my immediate needs. Guessing you mean about $4K US for a single encoder WM box.
Only looking for one initially but that could change. Had been considering a rack mount server with a high end Osprey card but this sounds like a much more cost effective and simple solution.
The rest of the infrastructure is designed including the Internet facing media server and I think a VBrick could slot in perfectly.
Would be interested in contacting you but not sure what the slashdot ettiquete is for that. Can't work out how to message you but maybe I'm just tired.
Cheers again for the info, it will be very useful.
I didn't drill down any links but I fail to see anything offensive about the page itself. Whether it's truthful or not there is no excuse for it's censorship.
Can't believe there are some self appointed thought police out there interfering with Australian net use. This example might be trivial but realistically this is no different to the great Chinese firewall and could prevent Australian access to legitimate content that some faceless authority deems inappropriate.
Okay, double posts are bad form, but I just saw the text underneath the pricing table: "Speed reduction once data usage reaches 150% of included data (to ensure your bill remains under control)".
So in other words, if you pay for the 4Mb/s at about $80/month, you get 2000MB of free data transfer. So you download at full speed for a little over an hour. After that, every megabyte you download after that costs you a dime.
No, I'm pretty sure what they mean is that after your quote is exceeded you will continue to receive data at high speed and pay for it by the MB until you get to 150% of your quota when they will slow you down and continue to charge by the MB.
They are only keeping your bill under control by slowing down your consumption of bandwidth after 150%, you are not getting anything for free.
Yeah that was unreal.:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:
Got some live TV coverage too for once which is great to see.
Just watching a replay of the external tank footage on NASA TV now, that shot dropping away from the shuttle was amazing.
Hooray for NASA!

I've been googling for prices on the VBricks but had no luck.
Can someone please post some links or prices, particularly for the WM version?
Thanks for the link a.d.p.

Not happy, Jan!
Yeah, WTF is going on here?
Who the hell are Net Authority and how are they censoring my internet use?
The pic probably isn't worth looking at but that's not the point. I do not appreciate some unknown entity interfering with my connection.

Broadband in Oz is a rip off.
