[Rails] millisecond precision over internet

[Thibaut Barrère]

Hi Daisung

if ruby can be installed on the client, you could write a client application
which does the measure locally with all possible accuracy and precision,
then have it push the informations to your RoR site (either using
webservices, rpc, smtp or ftp). Actually this client application could be
written in anything which suits your target audience (VB, .Net, Qt, SWT...).

This application could be packaged and available as a download from your RoR
powered site.

hope this helps

Thibaut
