Blurmagic, I have a refurbed Harmony 550 I picked up on Amazon for $49.99. Works just as good as new. So while, yes, you can do arithmetic, you're assuming every Harmony owner has what is actually one of the higher end models in the line.
Microsoft invented the ultra mobile computer, huh? Coulda fooled me.
Hmmm. By saying you can only enter once, do they mean the giveaway as a whole, or this round specifically?

Anyway: I'm in! :)
That's a really specious response, Craig.

Ray's point is pretty clearly not that the vulnerability of the glass is a good thing, it's that a vulnerable lock is much worse. If they turn the lock, and especially if they do it without damaging the tumblers, then you may not even be able to prove to your insurance company there was a burglary.

Eventually, it comes down to the fact that a sufficiently determined thief can get at ANYTHING, even if he has to rent a backhoe under an assumed name. The thing to keep in mind is that not every thief is sufficiently determined- they're mostly opportunists. Many of them won't willingly use destructive force because that's evidence for the police, and they can always move on to some other poor chump who they can victimize without it. Even if they do, well- the broken stuff IS evidence for the police. Infinitely preferable to having them just walk through the front door because a poorly designed lock was the weakest link in your security.
Mr.Truth:

I'm going to guess you don't get out much? You honestly think we're complaining about the fact that they have big tits? The actual problem is that their tits move with physics all their own. Seriously, they're like flubber. It doesn't look anything like real breasts, or even real implants.
It has the approximate aesthetics of a burlap sack. Except it's a SOLAR burlap sack! Whee!

So. Totally. Worthless.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I want a 13-incher. I need something with a great keyboard for typing, as this will mostly be used for note taking in class. I am absolutely smitten with the XPS 13, but I'm afraid that with its age Dell is going to give it an update soon. Any advice for someone in my shoes?"
