iTunes has a new hipster feature that when you burn CDs you get the same fuzzy noises as if you bought a record.

I don't think that's it, it sounds like some of the tracks didn't burn properly.

Have you tried using a different program to burn them?

I'll try it and report back but I'm running low on discs now so don't want to **** another one up.

Can't you do a test recording, before it actually burns the files to the disc? I'm pretty sure I had programmes that used to allow me to do that.

Hey: long shot, but you're not trying to burn Fuzzy Tunes' latest album Hisses and Pops, are you?

So my internet has been slow as hell and sometimes cutting out periodically, which in the past been because of malware. I've run virus scans any number of times (got one thing the first time, and nothing every other time), restarted and rebooted, unplugged/replugged the router, and reset the browser, and nothing has worked so now I don't know what to do.

Recently installed or downloaded anything? Do you have a restore point that won't **** your files over?

Someone explain to dumbyland what REST API is and why a video conferencing service would be better off using it as opposed to (idunno what the alternative is because I'm stupid).

And please say it slowly.

I'm useless at explaining things in layman's terms.

REST is a web service architectural style which outlines a set of standardised rules or guidelines for interaction between a client application and a web service, one such guideline being using HTTP requests.

An API (Application Programming Interface) is fairly self-explanatory. It's an interface exposed by a software application, or web service, so that other applications can interact with it in a regulated manner. Last.fm, for example, has an API which programmers can use to develop applications to interact with it.

Putting the two together - a REST API is a web service API which conforms to REST guidelines.

As to why a video conferencing service would be better off using it? You'll have to give more context here. But I'm guessing that you want a way that users can interact with a conferencing service. Using a REST API is a very standard and common way of achieving that.
