Once upon a time, soundcards had a second duty of acting as CD-ROM controllers. At some point in time, this changed.
I was building a computer sometime after that point, apparently.
The soundcard had what looked like the familiar IDE bank of pins on it.... I fried two IDE cables before I convinced myself that I was wrong.
Little did you know the real interview was taking place the whole time you were there as they read your thoughts (and tested their new thought-reading machine) throughout the day....
Google Fu says other people noticed too.... http://video.aol.com/video-detail/the-computator/1217932522
Reading the thread about CSI reminded me of a WTF I saw on How It's Made awhile back.
They were assembling desktop PCs. The case was being put on and they showed all the wires from LEDs and the power/reset switches. Apparently amongst those components needing to be wired to the case there is something called a 'computator'. Seriously.... Somehow all the machiens I've ever made never had their computator connected to the case and they seemed to work fine. I wonder if I was missing out.
FYI... I may not be on the latest nvidia drivers and can't check right now. But I run an 8800 on a 680i mobo and Vista sleeps/wakes fine for me.
*shrug*
Might want to look in on what actually causes it, b/c I don't think it is Nvidia.
I worked a short stint travelling and setting up systems that phoned massive numbers of people and delivered messages to them. On one of my first trips, I was to observe a coworker for training. He asked me to record a message along the lines of 'I said press 1 or 2, get it right, asshat' that would be played if someone pressed something otherwise. This would be ok in the context of testing the system as we'd be the only ones hearing it. I stuck with my gut though and just recorded a more amicable, though standard message.
Good thing, too. He had misconfigured our first test, and upon activation, our system immediately dialed 20 or so high ranking members of the organization the system was being installed for.
I wonder if you can water cool and overclock it.
'They' are accessing your data!
I think I saw that exact same error after putting a 45 degree bend in a thumb drive plugged into the front of a machine. The db was on that thumb drive.
I straightened the usb thumb drive and it would then allow read access, but no more writing.
