Agreed. It makes me sad how many people use IE and Chrome. OTOH many people where I work refer to the E as "The Internet", so not that surprising. Also wondering about their methods... where their research money comes from (i.e. bias), etc.
I'm not the librarian but I work closely with one and we've looked at RFID. Regular barcode tags are going to be far cheaper and you can get a shitty barcode scanner cheaply ~$30-50 although a good one is ~$300.
As for a system to actually track them I'm not aware of a FOSS one but I haven't looked either as the district chooses not the building. We did have Surpass as a separate stand alone system for some paperbacks and netbooks for awhile which was decent but these are serious systems for circulation likely well beyond the scope of what you're looking for (and likely price range although I don't know how much it cost) so I'm not sure what to recommend there.
If you're going to go the full library route you want something that can handle MARC records. Good luck =)
You don't see the problem? What happens if/when Valve starts to behave like Microsoft/Sony? I have a 12+ year old STEAM account but I definitely see the open source thing as good and free as in beer as better. Having said that I'm willing to bet less than 10% of my library will run without Windows. So for the time being, it's the Win 7 lifeboat for me.
I think it can be both. Also that PC hardware is viable longer (if you don't buy something shitty to start with) than it used to be and also probably longer than the life cycle of current consoles that want you to re-buy your entire library of games every few years while billing you for online play which is free on PC (still has the cost for the net connection but that's the same for the console). There are also a shit ton of decent indie games, I regularly check indiegala/indieroyale/groupees/bundlestars/humblebundle I'm sure there are others.
For me the bigger problem is the one pointed out by GabeN in that Microsoft has shot the golden goose and is insisting on continuously backing over said goose until it stops shaking, so for me, I'm in the Windows 7 life raft waiting for Linux/SteamOS to support more than ~10% of my gaming library before I jump ship. Fuck Windows 8/10 - the problem is a lack of good alternatives, Apple is just as bad as MS and maybe worse. I have nothing to recommend to people any more other than don't touch Windows 10; ever.
I don't know about the will not hire part, but from the (admittedly small) circle of people I know this isn't limited to IT at all.
Companies are in a race to the bottom in the insatiable lust for more quarterly profits. This means cutting people off just under the legal limits where they would otherwise be considered full time employees and entitled to "benefits" such as health insurance.
I have a CentOS server that I use for nothing but sshd (on a non-standard port, not for security but because it's one that isn't filtered at work) and squid for unfiltered web browsing at work and I have multiple attacks every day, currently:
Oct 18 20:17:41 echo sshd[22226]: Bad protocol version identification '\026\003\001' from 74.82.47.3 Oct 19 03:12:05 echo sshd[23298]: Bad protocol version identification '\026\003\001' from 54.149.243.130 Oct 19 06:33:30 echo sshd[26619]: Bad protocol version identification '\026\003\001\001M\001' from 54.193.0.39 Oct 19 08:15:04 echo sshd[26885]: Bad protocol version identification '\026\003\001' from 50.207.8.100
Interestingly a lot of them are "research" IPs like umich and shadow server. I haven't seen much that is directly from China but I don't check often.
If you're doing this for surveillance, I use iSpy you can define a range of your camera that if it detects motion will start recording and you can choose how far in advance the buffer is and how long it waits before it stops. It can be triggered by audio too, I've found it to be very nice for watching maintenance at my apartment and people trying to break in to our cars.
They do charge for remote access features but you can "roll your own" for that if you need it (I didn't). It can use an external mic as a source or one on the camera either way.
I use avidemux and audacity to add Rifftrax to movies. Basically copying out the existing audio, merging the rifftrack with the movie audio in to one track and then putting it back in as a separate audio track so the original audio is there too if you want to watch the movie without jokes (pretty rare for me actually, but it's nice to have options;)).
Someone else already suggested OBS, I've used that too for recording gaming video. It can be pretty intensive and it takes some fiddling to make it workable but it's not bad.
Unless you're running Enterprise, it's not disabled and still spying on literally everything, including sending sound from the mic to Microsoft. I was going to list some links but I'm at work and don't have time. A little searching will show you the truth.
The US TLAs would like to thank you for your endorsement of global privacy death.
because they turn off A/C over weekends and whatnot to "save money" where it's probably cheaper to just maintain the temperature rather than start having to cool everything again.
My apartment is rarely cool enough either because it's from the 60's and has shitty insulation and we've had it break consistently every year for the last 3 years. The complex is run by a corporate office out of another state and local management has changed 12 times in 7 years, so rather than replacing anything it limps along with duck tape and prayers. My electric bill was $190 last month, 960 sq feet should be easier to cool.
You're a liar or a troll. It's as simple as that. I've lived in Indiana my whole life and experienced, firsthand, racists of all colors (you did know that anyone can be a racist, right?) but they're far from the majority. Stop playing the victim, bitterness like this doesn't do anything but keep you locked in and your eyes closed to reality.
that this kind of bullshit is okay, same with Apple.
Microsoft has always been evil but they're not even trying to hide it any more. I'm a hardcore gamer so for now I'm sticking with Windows 7 Ultimate on my desktop but my next upgrade will probably not be Windows. Not that Valve is spotless but I sure trust them more than the other, worse, options.
Spending time trying to clean the shit they rubbed in your face out of your eyes doesn't help anyone else. How about just don't let them rub shit in your face?
to be honest, and I've been recently reading a lot about potential TrueCrypt replacements. Of course I was looking for FDE mostly, not just a few files.

far too much ego here. Everybody thinks they're the best at everything and deserve more than their peers.
This goes along with the politics which, at least where I've worked, even in very left leaning fields many in IT lean hard to the right.

Fuck the M$ shills and fanboys (really?) with mod points.
and we're talking about it. Free publicity?
PS, I fucking hate that /. penalizes me for typing fast. YOU wait 14 seconds asshole.

they use a BSD license and laugh all the way to the bank
(rather conspicuous lack of Apple wouldn't you say?)
At least the GPL requires people to give *something* back.

2/54, could be false positives I've at least heard of Rook Security although I forget in what context ;)
Even it seems to be getting the shit pounded out of it.
