As the anonymous coward stated, there is a big red button for images. However, chances are your problem is that you need a good TIFF viewer that works with the USPTO setup. See Innomage Internetiff. They have a free version. Otherwise visit any one of the many sites that provide free PDFs of patents.
Then you'd best be careful and not break the device. Just like you are careful not to destroy the paperback book. With care I really doubt that the life of the e-book reader is any shorter than a paperback book. Paperback books aren't exactly known for their durability.
Someone got up on the wrong side of the bed. I'm pretty sure he was making an argument by analogy. It seemed pretty clear to me. Airbargs are a good thing. They save a lot of lives, but if used improperly (e.g., placing a child's car seat right in front of the airbag) they can be a bad thing (read: deadly).
Turning to the metadata: Having lots of metadata to search can be a very good thing. But, if used improperly (e.g., having the index not properly secured from outside access or malicious software) they can be a bad thing (read: security risk).
So, as the grandparent said: "Like Big Bird says, remember to put your infants in the back seat, so the "safety" devices don't kill them."
Which they would do after the killing... But you are right, a higher level of accountability would probably apply. Perhaps I was a bit too hasty in my analysis.
Well a company or a corporation can't really pull a trigger. An employee could. That employee would certainly face jail time. Presumably any co-conspirators would too. If the board of directors all voted to have the employee kill the person, they'd all be likley facing jail time for conspiracy and aiding and abetting.

1st dude told 2nd dude to stop directing traffic through their URL to 1st dude's site. (Pretty sure it was more of a redirect than a mirror of an RSS file).
2nd dude complied.
1st dude realized that iTunes had used 2nd dude's URL for 1st dude's listing.
1st dude is sad because all iTunes people who signed up with 2nd dude's URL are lost.
1st dude tells 2nd dude to put URL directing traffic to 1st dude's podcast backup. 2nd dude decides to capitalize and ask for money.
When you double click to zoom, it zooms on the images, then replaces them with higher quality images as soon as they load. At least for me, it doesn't zoom back out.
Along the same lines, a feature that google missed: Scroll-wheel zooming!!! I've been missing this feature on Google's map interface since I was allowed to use it on Google Earth. Thanks MSFT!
Intent can elevate the damages, but it is not required for damages. But thanks for your astute analysis of my legal knowledge.
If you disagree, please locate in the statute where it states that copyright infringement requires intent, knowledge, mens rea, malice, etc... Here is a link to 17 USC Sec. 92 Chap. 5: http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html
As a brief reply, I don't think that the repair argument holds. How often do you repair your clock radio, how often do you repair your television? Not really that often. Just because it is electronic doesn't mean it will break. This is especially true when people aren't allowed to tinker with the software of the device. If the software behind these devices is handled well, I don't think you will have to worry about reinstalling the OS on your thermostat.
The maximum duration of a patent is now 20 years from *filing*. The only way that is extended is if the patent office takes too long examining the patent. Currently, a good average is about 3 years to get the patent from filing to issue (i.e., you get about 17 years from *issue*). I'm not aware of any way to renew this time limit.
The previous system was 17 years from *issue*, which meant that if you delayed your examination for years you could really extend the life of your patent (these delayed patents were known as submarine patents).
So, I really don't see any argument that the current system has expanded the old? It is simply a new way to calculate the term to eliminate people benefiting by purposely protracting their examination. In most cases the patent term comes out to be the same as the previous system. In addition, continuations of patents claiming priority to earlier filings are calculated from the priority date and, thus, have a term much shorter than 17 years from issue.
If someone wants a big laptop let them have a big laptop. Its not as if tiny laptops aren't avaiable. I wouldn't want my Dell 300M to be any smaller and its certainly not the smallest laptop available.
I think your parent meant that the Dell and HP boxes boot slower because of all the crap that is set to startup with Windows when these machines are shipped. From my experience, the Dell and HP machines boot slower than a minimal install on a home-built machine. This is pretty obvious, because there are fewer programs to start. So, its not so much that its from Dell or HP, just that they put a lot of crap on those things that has to boot up. I always recommend wiping these things clean and installing Windows fresh...solves this whole issue.

If murder was legal, we'd have fewer people in jail. I know that much.
Your search - "crappy music" - did not match any documents.

Have your pick of lots of names, addresses, and phone numbers... These are already public records.

Is "intent" an element of copyright infringment? No.
Do you have to register your copyright to claim damages? No.

One last note... you mention variable speed windshield wipers. Do you have a reference regarding the early invention. The earliest I have found is reference to Kearns inventing the idea in 1962 and this patent filed in 1982 http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PT O2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=3&u=/netahtml/search-bool.html&r =148&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=ptxt&s1=kearns.INZZ.&OS=IN /kearns&RS=IN/kearns
Clearly you have never prosecuted a patent...
Maybe something like this product from Garmin: http://www.garmin.com/products/gtm10/index.jsp using their service for 60$/year?
