I happen to agree; I don't think we need one. But we have one, nevertheless.

For the most part, the Tech Section is electronics related. You may find it hard to believe, but there are no threads on lawn mower advances either.
As far as who made me special, no one needed to make me special. The thread fits where I put it. Kind of like that #9 cork in your ass.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Actually people manage spectacularly to drive in 2 dimensions. We have what, 80 million drivers or something each day in the US? And what, a few thousand accidents with injuries per day? That's a remarkably low rate in the scheme of things. Compare that to construction jobs or whatnot... and consider that driving is probably the single most complicated thing you will ever do in your life, by far, including flying (with flying you don't have many airplanes to watch out for, or stoplights to brake suddenly at).<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

You can drive backwards/forwards on the road, and left/right on the road, and degrees of said. You cannot drive up/down (off the road/towards the road), so you are driving in two dimensions.
Now, an offroader might argue they drive in three dimensions...<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

Maybe you're thinking of the Final Frontier?
Uh, space IS commonly referred to as the Third Dimension. Time is often called the Fourth Dimension.
Classical physics theories describe three physical dimensions: from a particular point in space, the basic directions in which we can move are up/down, left/right, and forward/backward. Movement in any other direction can be expressed in terms of just these three. Moving down is the same as moving up a negative amount. Moving diagonally upward and forward is just as the name of the direction implies; i.e., moving in a linear combination of up and forward. In its simplest form: a line describes one dimension, a plane describes two dimensions, and a cube describes three dimensions.Tutto nel mondo è burla

You are driving in time though. So driving does involve three dimensions.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI
