Going from analog to digital transform your waveform into a limited number of truncated values (sampling rate and sampling precision). Your pure sinewave is converted into a square one but on the whole it's still the same frequency and harmonics.
Going from digital to MP3/AAC/etc is lossy in the sense that the digital waveform loses whole bands of frequencies in each pack of compressed data. Think hundreds of changing mid-band filters every second. You lose frequencies and harmonics hundreds of times every second.
By a strange coincidence “None at all” is exactly how much suspicion the ape-descendant Arthur Dent had that one of his closest friends was not descended from an ape, but was, in fact, from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse. Arthur Dent's failure to suspect this reflects the care with which his friend blended himself into human society - after a fairly shaky start. When he first arrived fifteen years ago, the minimal research he had done had suggested to him that the name ‘Ford Prefect' would be nicely inconspicuous. He will enter our story in thirty-five seconds and say “Hello, Arthur.” The ape-descendant will greet him in return, but in deference to a million years of evolution, he will not attempt to pick fleas off him; Earthmen are not proud of their ancestors and never invite them round to dinner.
It would have been funny to end the video with regular movie-style scrolling credits and have "42 quadrocopters have been harmed in the making of this film."
If someone wants all the information to become useless, they would need to: - close all credit cards and get new ones from different companies - close all bank accounts and open new ones to a different bank - get a divorce or get married, whatever changes your marital status - change your name, race, hair color, eye color, sex, religion and language - move to another country so that all details of the address are obsolete - close your Facebook account and open a Google+ account
Now, I know that last step seems impossible to do, but don't give up, you can do it!
FIY, when you see weather on TV, remember that you guys use the old imperial system and we use metric. There's no 32 degrees drop at the frontier line.
See the packages offered by companies in Canada. It's even worst up here. There's obvious collusion on prices and services offered and the CRTC doesn't do shit about it.

It's a totally different kind of loss.
That's why I'm starting a Canadian Slashdot.
Yes of course, the USA military switched to military-grade frequencies and waveforms that nobody else on the planet can use.
Especially with almost everything being "Made in China".
Typical MPAA piracy warning.
It's not down.
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!

Surely you mean Atlantis.
I have to block ALL cookies.

Nope, that's the Daleks' way.
Let's go nuclear, from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
It is now clearly obvious: in the future, the weapon of choice to fight robots will be an aluminium baseball bat.
Cops: Why are you carrying $100K in cash?
You: I'm going to the Apple store.
Cops: Carry on.
Macabook?

This is slashdot. Recommend buying a Boston Dynamics Big Dog.
If you need help to decide between two models of laptops* and two models of desktops**, I don't know what kind of help you need.
* MacBook Air or MacBook Pro
** Mac mini or iMac

I always carry lots of kilos when I go to the grocery store. Sugar, potatoes, bread, you name it.

One lazy company doesn't mean the whole of Québec is lazy. I know people who work 10 hours per day around here, others who work on week-ends too.
Now that I know what PLA is made of, I'll be printing with ABS from now on.
