I found an old book of computer jokes from like mid-90s, here is one:
Q: Why didn't Intel call the Pentium the 586? A: Because they added 486 and 100 on the first Pentium and got 585.999983605.
And the rest of these are just as good. Got some great remixes for you today. First up is the first solid remix i have heard from the new Ratatat tracks. It is a Copy remix and its hot. Secondly, DFA's best new sign in recent memmory, Hercules & Love Affair got remixed by Riton.
Whenever my father purchases anything technological, he waits until I visit him in Maryland before he even attempts to read a manual - his reasoning being: "reading the damn manual just makes it more confusing." My father is 54 years old, born and raised in Sumter (Butt-Fuck), South Carolina, and a retired Master Sergeant of the U.S. Air Force. His unwillingness to dabble in "complicated" electronics has really come as a surprise to me recently, especially since he pretty much collects really expensive electronics, most of which he acquired while stationed in Japan during the 80s. I guess things are just getting a little too complicated for my old Pop.
Anyhow, my father has taken the step to convert his LP collection to MP3 format; his LP collection boasts damn near one thousand records, all of which are alphabetized in a catalog. This, of course, is where I come in. This past winter, my dad purchased the Stanton T.90 USB turntable (and yes, he and I are just now fucking with it) from turntable lab.
The turntable also comes with Cakewalk Pyro 5 software, which makes it quite simple to record a whole side of a record at a time and separate the tracks manually by using the "split" tool.
There are still plenty of features that I haven't messed with yet, but so far I'm digging the included format conversion tool and the capability to save multiple audio files at once to your desired format, as well as in 320 kbp/s. Also, you are given the option to burn the ripped files directly to a disc.
However, for you digital DJs out there who are annoyed with shitty audio quality, I have ripped several songs from vinyl to 320 kbp/s with the Cakewalk software so you can judge for yourselves and snatch a few if you'd like.
