Julio Bashmore - Au Seve. The DJ actually says the artist and song name in the clip you uploaded (@1:42). It's a bit quick and indistinct, so not too much shame in missing it in a 2nd language.
edit: Post the rest of the tracks you're struggling to identify, and see if we can get them
If this was aimed at me then I would strongly refute it. I've never been one for jingoism or 'patriotism' for patriotism's sake. For example, I was a Michael Schumacher fan at the time when he was racing against David Coulthard and I think Hulkenberg has done a better job overall this season than Paul di Resta. I'm also a fairly vocal critic of many of Hamilton's actions (on and off track).
There was no DRS for Schumacher's wins either. Plus it remains to be seen whether Red Bull can adapt the car enough to be able to take advantage of DRS to move through the field (through changes allowed because they're starting Vettel from the pitlane).
That was really another pole + hotlap fest though. There's no doubt it was an impressive performance, but it didn't do anything to show he could battle through traffic. His overtaking move on Button at Spa which ended up taking a bite out of Button's sidepod was stronger evidence against him than Monza was for him.
You mean just like Alonso failed to do at the same track in 2010?
Have you tried changing the CMOS battery on the motherboard? It might not get you anywhere, but it's a cheap and easy thing to test.
How come you can race on Fern Bay when you're a demo user?
No, I do a few things every day that I really see the benefit of SSDs from. My desktop's daily backup routine involves creating a ~3.5GB archive containing several thousand files (ranging from a few bytes to hundreds of megabytes and comprised of compressible and incompressible data). With my previous HDD (a Samsung F3 HD103SJ 1TB) the process of creating the archive and verifying its contents would take something around 15-17 minutes. During this time my PC was a lot slower to respond (obviously due to the high I/O load). Now with my SSD (a Samsung 830 128GB) the process takes around 7-9 minutes (basically half the time) and the PC remains very quick and responsive throughout this process. Also I do some work with databases (ranging from 50MB to about 7.5GB for the IMDB database). Query and update times are so much quicker with the SSD than the HDD, even with a significant amount of RAM supplied for caching. I can't give an average value for the speedup, but I would give a rough estimate at 2-300% performance improvement.
Clearly loading apps and webpages is a LOT faster too, but saying that's really all the SSD advantage boils down to is sorely missing the point.
You don't really believe that, do you?
I understand that the performance differences between SSDs is very small compared to the performance difference between any SSD and an HDD (and I've said this to a number of people before in #liveforspeed). However, I fail to believe that the real world difference between SSDs several generations apart cannot be felt. You admit they're in "vastly" different PCs, so I can't see how you can separate out the I/O performance from the other differences.
I don't believe the price issue is fair; the inflated price of the 840 is due to low availability of a new part (as I mentioned above). Clearly there's something to be said for sticking with the old generation of hardware/firmware that's been proven in consumer-land over a significant time (in the life of an SSD at least). However, when we're discussing Samsung products I personally believe that the improvement in performance outweighs the potential for instability or reliability problems in the new model. Samsung have excellent (near-total) control of the parts in the supply chain for their SSDs and they do a large amount of QA testing to try and avoid the sort of embarrassing problems that other SSD manufacturers have had all too often (*cough* OCZ *cough*). Clearly, at the end of the day, the choice is down to personal preference as much as benchmark results, but I'd take the 840 over the 830 and I'm happy to recommend someone else do the same.
Jakg and I both live in the UK and I clearly mentioned the 128GB model (I know that at the moment 256GB drives tend to be better value for money, but he's said that 128GB should be more than enough). At the time of writing the 830 desktop kit is £86.20, the 840 desktop kit is £109.44 and the 840 pro basic kit (I don't see an 840 pro desktop kit listed there) is £119.44. Clearly with the 840 series being so new (hence the sketchy availability) pricing hasn't stabilised yet, but from what I've read I'd expect the price of the 840 (non-Pro) models to come in line with the 830 models as the 840s become more available and the 830s become less available.
edit: The improved performance of the 840 series in most real world (i.e. non crazily high workload) tests is better than the 830. Just look at the light workload results. That's what should make you consider the 840 over the 830.
Read Anandtech's conclusion. It addresses the TLC concerns.
edit: Also, if you're that concerned and want the extra performance of the Pro version it's not hugely more expensive.

3570K CPU + 128GB Samsung 840. Availability on the 840 drives is a bit sketchy in some places now, but it's worth waiting for compared to the 830.
Hmm, so you're calling a 'stealth' network filter possibly implemented by some NZ ISPs that may or may not be in force a "conspiracy", yet a proven strategy by the US government to seize domains from anywhere in the world without due process is totally fine? Even though several of the domain seizures eventually turn out to have been without cause and are given back after a long period of time. There is a procedure in place for dealing with copyright infringement (it's called the DMCA).
Well, this move is softer than the approach of the US ICE. In the past they've summarily stopped access to websites which they believe are illegal, without due process. Here is some information on one such takedown. Here is another. To think that the US government has the power to take down domains registered and hosted outside the US without any burden of proof should be worrying to everyone.
edit: sorry, got my 3 letter acronym for the responsible department wrong originally. It was the ICE, rather than the DHS.

There's some more technical information (and some images) about the engine here and a bit more background and pictures of the car here.
edit: Also see here, here and here (all direct links to PDFs) for more engine information.
edit2: This seems to be the master document some/most of the above data relating to the engine was taken from.

Justice that was sadly lacking from the Rodney King case.

Would rather see Hampton Downs than Pukekohe myself. Also disappointed there's no Eastern Creek and I can't find out if the Australian GP round is non-championship again. I know there was some talk about making it a championship round in the past, but I don't know if that got dismissed for good.
If you have brake failure at 290km/h you're gonna have a bad time. Pretty good reactions to feed gears at it to get engine braking to slow it down. Also very lucky not to hit anything substantial at high speed.
This video might be of interest to you. I'm sure there are many other, more modern and longer videos on this subject. However, this video is a very quick example of how the principles of evolution can be applied to a design problem in the real world and come up with very good solutions.
Yes, the same stigma that has crushed other institutions with Nazi involvement like BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi.
As I said before, I was just posting to clarify what I thought Racer X was attempting to explain, so I'm not going to try and defend it. My personal belief is that neither quantum mechanics nor some deity can adequately explain why we're here.
This time, I think Racer X was referring to the delayed choice experiment, which does indeed have something to do with quantum physics.
I think what Racer X was trying to say was that an interpretation of quantum mechanics (which has been popularised by Lawrence Krauss) suggests that it's possible/inevitable for 'something' (i.e. the universe and all its contents) to come into being from 'nothing'. This contention would alleviate the 'need' for a God figure (or some kind of creator) to explain why we're here.
Note: I'm just trying to clarify what I think Racer X was attempting to say. The entire lecture above is worth watching, btw.
