I can't wait to place this new digitally restored version next to my old Good Bye Irene CD, and right under my Good Bye Irene poster.

DRMed quarks will be just around the corner?

Haven't these maniacs ever watched Lexx?! Detecting the Higgs Boson particle will shrink the world to an ultradense particle, about the size of a pea!

TV doesn't lie to me!

So out of the goodness of their little hearts the RIAA is sponsoring this restoration, or are they going through and copyrighting all of this material?

Record companies steal royalties copyrights from deceased blues musicians? Inconceiveable!

I wonder if these guys can help me with this cheap batch of DVD-Rs I bought.

Slashdotted a .gov! Soon we'll be able to hold the world's governments for ransome!

Before the song is "Good Bye Irene".

After the song is "Good By Webserver".

The sound of this new song is unusually pure and quiet. My congratulations to the Berkeley team.

I ran the first sample through noise reduction with an old copy of Cool Edit and got better results. None of that lame pulsing background noise either.

By colliding two audio recordings together at near-lightspeed in an underground tunnel, physicists hope to uncover the much anticipated Higgs boson, or at the very least produce a half-decent Britney album.

1). It's "Dexy's Midnight Runners" 2). It's "Come on Eileen"

You use that word.
Are you sure it means what you think it means?

Actually, the new version gives me a low scale headache from the constant flutter.

You sound like you're fun to hang out with.

No, it won't! It'll just allow instantaneous interstellar travel when coupled with a computer that can calculate the timeshift differentials!

Sheesh, all this wonderful anime [amazon.com] and nobody learns anything from it...

The cracks and the spikes in a song can give it a certain charm.

You can always put them back, if you really want to.

Anybody remember the episode of the original Star Trek where somebody was drunk and driving everyone crazy singing
Good Night Irene thru the intercom.
Now that's TV!

Even if a lot of quality of the songs are improved a bit of authenticity of the songs is lost. The cracks and the spikes in a song can give it a certain charm.

Can't they be digitally added back in? Instant authenticity!

No, the charm is an entirely different particle.

The second one sounds just like the first one, except with Puff Daddy going "Unhhh, Unhhh" over top of it.

Colliding two Britney albums at high speeds makes them both better. Further research revealed that colliding a single Britney album against a brick wall improved that album to the same degree as colliding it with another Britney album. Grant proposals are being written up as we speak for extensive studies in this field, both with different celebrities and combinations of celebrities to see if this observation holds true, and under what circumstances.

A Slashdotter steals lines from a deceased giant who had a passion for wrestling? Inconceivable!
