I enjoyed it got it all on my hdd recorder and watched it this morning, happily skipping over the people I'm really not interested (anyone country, Duranduran, aha, some punk dudes, etc).
Some good performances in there and the small clips they made in between the artists were geenrally very well made and quite affecting.
And it was totally awesome to see and hear Pink Floyd together again.
It said at the end that they are going to repeat it - no cut - on August 13th and 14th (I think) on Fuji 721.

Data on 46,000 Visa-linked cardholders feared leaked: METI
(Kyodo) _ Data on some 46,000 holders of credit cards issued by 12 companies in Japan in alliance with Visa International Inc. may have been leaked, officials of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said Wednesday.
The latest finding following the theft of card data from a U.S. data-processing company helped clarify the magnitude of information leakage in Japan, with the situation at firms tied up with MasterCard International Inc. and JCB Co. already known.
METI reported Tuesday that data on 21,000 holders of cards issued by 26 Japanese firms in partnership with MasterCard might have been leaked from the U.S. company CardSystems Solutions.
JCB said Tuesday 31 holders of cards issued by itself and its group firms including banks are among those whose data may have been stolen.
In Japan, about 260 million credit cards had been issued as of the end of fiscal 2003 through March 31, 2004. Half of those cards were estimated to be linked with MasterCard or Visa.
The ministry has been asking Japanese card companies about possible losses resulting from abuse of the stolen card data, the officials said.

Caruso is annoying. And why do they all dress like they're on the way to some formal party in their best clobber?
Kinda spoils any kind of "authenticity".I like the Vegas one though, it is pretty good.

Bread and coffee - the smell is almost as good as the taste. Me and the missus are having a day in today and there's all sorts of bread and coffee being served. Boss.
-
Want to say as well - the journals are really great as well. (And they'll be easier to look at again in the future, threads will get lost)

Do you go to the bar a lot me jane?
-
I'm really surprised more people didn't die there. In the end there weren't actually that many were there.
-
Thats nice, seeing as though I spend much of my time on top of that nest.
-
Lets hope we get 40cm just before GW then
-
This is all making Kagura look so different, never knew about all of this.
-
Will you be up there toque? I might be on for this just worried about my 'level'.
-
I just did a round up, it wasn't Nozawa it was actually 47 in hakuba.
-
Nozawa most likely for me.
-
"They said there wasn't as much snow as normal"
That does surprise me. What is Hakuba like generally then this season compared to normal (whatever that is)?
-
Just about regained my composure after yesterday morning, that was real scary.
-
No that's Nagano/Gifu way, right? A long way from Yuzawa.
-
Tell me about them.
Don't worry, no-one's looking (and I won't tell).
Cheers!

I thought there were 2 competing, blu ray and hd-dvd. Some machines going to let us watch both - as well as normal current DVDs. Sony are doing the blu ray thing, and its going to be in the PS3, right?
-
I've got to take a trip over to Germany soon and in the process of booking a ticket. It's going to be economy (unfortunately) and price is important. Just wondering the latest "buzz" (haha, is there any!) on airlines and which might be a good choice, if there is a choice.

The aircon in summer gets me. I hate it hot but coming into a freezing room is just too much - I often go to work with lots of layers in summer but even so end up getting a cold.
-
Fun. Slightly dangerous perhaps

I have had exactly the same experience. More than a bit annoying.

Israel Warned United Kingdom About Possible Attacks
Summary
There has been massive confusion over a denial made by the Israelis that the Scotland Yard had warned the Israeli Embassy in London of possible terrorist attacks “minutes before” the first bomb went off July 7. Israel warned London of the attacks a “couple of days ago,” but British authorities failed to respond accordingly to deter the attacks, according to an unconfirmed rumor circulating in intelligence circles. While Israel is keeping quiet for the time-being, British Prime Minister Tony Blair soon will be facing the heat for his failure to take action.
Analysis
The Associated Press reported July 7 that an anonymous source in the Israeli Foreign Ministry said Scotland Yard had warned the Israeli Embassy in London of possible terrorist attacks in the U.K. capital. The information reportedly was passed to the embassy minutes before the first bomb struck at 0851 London time. The Israeli Embassy promptly ordered Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to remain in his hotel on the morning of July 7. Netanyahu was scheduled to participate in an Israeli Investment Forum Conference at the Grand Eastern Hotel, located next to the Liverpool Street Tube station -- the first target in the series of bombings that hit London on July 7.
Several hours later, Israeli Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom officially denied reports that Scotland Yard passed any information to Israel regarding the bombings, and British police denied they had any advanced warning of the attacks. The British authorities similarly denied that any information exchange had occurred.
Contrary to original claims that Israel was warned “minutes before” the first attack, unconfirmed rumors in intelligence circles indicate that the Israeli government actually warned London of the attacks “a couple of days” previous. Israel has apparently given other warnings about possible attacks that turned out to be aborted operations. The British government did not want to disrupt the G-8 summit in Gleneagles, Scotland, or call off visits by foreign dignitaries to London, hoping this would be another false alarm.
The British government sat on this information for days and failed to respond. Though the Israeli government is playing along publicly, it may not stay quiet for long. This is sure to apply pressure on Blair very soon for his failure to deter this major terrorist attack.
