LEGO Mindstorms Will Survive

thufir writes "LEGO has released a press release, where they dismiss the rumour that MINDSTORMS is being taken out of production. For some reason the changes in product policy lead to the misunderstanding that they would totally drop the product. 'Hearsay has it that a product range like LEGO MINDSTORMS is no longer in focus. This is not true. On the contrary, MINDSTORMS, CLIKITS and BIONICLE are all good examples of products the company wants to stake on.'"

There's nothing more pathetic than a geek who never got any in high school and then is fucking proud because he convinced some chick in college to marry him. For some reason however, these guys seem to think they're the shit. Must be some trauma from school I suppose.

I'm a somewhat average looking guy who's also kinda geeky. I had (some) sex in high school and still have occassionally. I'm not into long lasting relationships however. I think there are much more interesting things in life than raising kids and trying to keep your wife happy to prevent a family crisis. So I choose to stay single. Why change that? It's perfect the way it is.

You guys who think it's the greatest thing to bind a female to you for the rest of your life should really wake up... it's not. At least not for people who don't want to give up their creativity and/or personality.

Love that empty sourceforge site of yours!
