All the recent posts talk about the GP3 graphics but what about the physics ? Physics maketh the game in racing sims as all GPL fans will tell you. I'm hoping that the physics will be a big advancement on GP2 which , after playing GPL , feels too much like an arcade game . However , I've read that the wet weather implementation makes the cars difficult to drive . Andrew Ian <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8jcs36$18eo$[email hidden]...

It means that the image was scanned by "Echelon" and the system decided not to archive it for later 'usage'. <G> JoH

Why, if you saw the release date as 18th July? Does your time machine only take you forward 3 weeks and can't manage 5? Tony Whitley Still upset that a year ago I read "MSFF uses more CPU cycles than the Logitech" as "MSFF uses less CPU cycles than the Logitech". D'oh!

(GPLRank handicap: +39.92) Same thing happened with GP2, we went nearly nuts here for about two weeks hearing all the European r.a.s. posters rave about GP2 while we waited for Microprose to get it's act together and release it for us across the pond. I'm afraid to say it, but if it happens again with GP3 it will probably result in lots of piracy of the game here in North America, especially with the large installed base of DSL and cable modems here, you can bet it will make it's way here electronically if the physical means takes very long. Looking forward to GP3, (already have a copy on hold). --John --

No idea, just so their messages aren't stored on a server. Paranoia ? maybe ;) It could be to stop someone from quoting something they said 8 years ago and proving them wrong :) It doesn't always work anyway because people reply to messages and remove that line. -- Ian P <email address invalid due to spam Dave Henrie <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:JFv65.37241$[email hidden]... > > "Ian P" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:8jdnc9$5t2$[email hidden]... > > It's to stop the likes of deja.com from archiving the post. > > But why do they dothey worry about that Ian?

There are lots of funny references to the classic POW films - "The Great Escape", "Stalag 17". Highly recommended. Dave Ewing -- ***************************************************** David A.

Reasonably, but it doesn't matter to me. I have no problem standing behind anything I say(type).

No (that voice belongs to Alison Snowden), but you're very, very close - different shows, but same channel. The hen's voice is Julia Sawalha who played Saffron, the long-suffering daughter, in 'Absolutely Fabulous'. joshua h [email hidden]

my guess is it only works when found in the header section of an article, not the article body, so it's useless in this case.
