Interesting since throughout their own web pages they refer to LEGO bricks as LEGOS as well (sometimes with a small "S." I searched for the FAQ you mentioned and I'm still having a hard time finding it. If it's not easily found, I can't see that it's really that important to them.
Besides I don't believe that my reply was much of a flame. It's the way I and thousands of others refer to multiple LEGO bricks.
It looks like a LEGO block, but without seeing up close there's no way to know. It could be that imitation plastic brick building system that I always see next to the LEGOS in the store. I'd use them but they only have basic bricks.
I still only have one LEGO Mindstorms set. True I can't create MIBO, but I still can learn from Jin's Techniques. Besides I'm getting pretty good at getting LEGOS cheap. Look on the clearance tables at your favorate LEGO supplier. I've gotten sets that are missing just a few pieces for incredible discounts. I even got a friend of mine a Mindstorms kit for $35. It was missing a single common LEGO.
You are quite right. But sometimes you want to know how someone else thinks. I'm by no means a LEGO Master, I actually have a life outside of LEGO, Computers and work. I like the book because it gave me an insight into how Jin thought. The way he thought to put pieces together. I still experiment, but now I'm extending what I've learnd from him and coming up with even better designs.
Darn, I was shooting for a 5th grade reading level not 6th. Not everyone is as advanced as you. You have to write to your projected audience and this review is for a very broad audience.
If you say so. Are you actually the creator of LEGOS? Have I somehow infringed on your ability to understand by adding a "S" to the end of a trademark name to show more than one?
"I may grow older but I refuse to grow up." My parents always hated when I said that. Actually reviewing the book gave me an excuse to play with my Legos in a grown-up way. I have no children of my own yet but I'm going to have lots of wonderful toys for them when I do.
I wouldn't mind seeing a port of StarCraft. It may be old but it is very enjoyable especially in lan parties. Would you be opposed to Starcraft 2 being ported to Linux?

Gotta hate those automatic spell checkers.

Funny, Lego Mindsprings isn't in my original text anywhere. Could be they are editing.
Actually I read the book while traveling. But I may have to start bringing my LEGOS into work, I'm running out of space at home.

I've gotten lots of piecs from Pitsco. They sell parts in bulk and interesting sets.

Really, are 2 Microsoft's better than one?
