    You're probably way more likely to get one than me though.

    I've been unemployed since the 20th of May last year.

    In that time I've had two job interviews.

    Heh, I'm a year older than you are and never worked before. Even though I'm quite qualified.

    I finished college last year around that time too.

    Once my girlfriend gave me an advice of not writing that I was a college student on a job application and that I flunked out in high-school for a shitty temp cashier job, since I couldn't get any entry level or shit jobs at all.

    It worked. She said, they want dumb guys to overwork them, if you're overqualified they'll know they can't screw you.

    What is this noise and why is my computer making it. It randomly starts doing it around once every month or two.

    I thought that's what it was, but it's a lot louder than the video makes it out to be. It's really fucking loud. lol. It's stopped for the time being. Actually, I think it was an error alert. When I put a bit of force on the memory, it went away immediately. I wonder if that's what it's been all this time.

    Ground beef and melted cheese stuffed in a sugar doughnut. It sounds fucking delicious to me.

    I think your computer is trying to open a portal to the Xen homeworld.

    I advise immediate cessation of computer use to avoid unforeseen consequences.

    Sounds like it could be a hard drive issue (ze drive is getting kaput) or some kind of static buildup (lousy insulation/powerflow).

    I'm going to try something. I'm going to try to replicate this experiment with a hard drive that I know isn't failing and disconnect all other drives. I want to see what's happening here.

    Basically, this issue has been occurring pretty regularly when I attempt to install OS X. It's not hindering the performance, just being fucking ANNOYING. If it was just me, I would put on some headphones and ignore it until it was done, but since Lydia is in the room, that's not exactly an option.

    Before I do that, I'm running a sector test on the drive that I believe is the issue (if it's a drive at all). Maybe the stress will cause the noise again.

    The video doesn't tell me whether its a spinnign noise (fan, drive, etc) or your internal 1bit speaker.
    My only advice is to detach the speaker from your mobo. If that doesn't fix it, too bad. xP

    EDIT: "fix" should be replaced by "silence" lol
