Is it possible to post a picture of a schematic here?

No, you can't. Well you can, but most people won't be able to see it, it takes up lots of unecessary bandwidth, etc.

There are binary groups were large files can be posted, but many servers don't carry them because of the overhead. One medium size JPEG may take up as much space and time as a month's traffic on this group.

Best thing to do is to open an account on one of the many free fileserver sights. Then post the link.

That way people who are interested in seeing it can download it and look, without taking up the space and bandwidth for the rest who don't.

I got one word - Dropbox. I guess it's a form of cloud storage and it is pr etty easy to use. I got it and would never give it up. They give you a gig or two for free but you can buy more.

You just download Dropbox and let it install, then you get a special folder to which you move files you want to share on the net, or save off site. It can be used for insurance backup photos and things like that in your priva te area which can only be retrieved by you (from any commputer though), but to let others get the file you drag it into the \private subdirectory.

Once it uploads (there is a status indicator in your taskbar) then you righ t click the file in your windows explorer and one of the options will be "C opy Public URL". You click that and then you can paste it into any web docu ment including a post on any web forum or an email.

I don't recommend you make anything public they would mess with you about, like a rip of a DVD of a brand new movie, but you can. Your files cannot be searched for by search engines like Google or whatever, I've tried. Withou t that specific URL nobody gets the file, though they can share the URL of course.

There are a couple examples out of mine, as you can see they are https whic h is always good of course. The eight digit number is your unique identific ation and is based on your email.

If you have a computer at work, and your love shack and wherever in the wor ld, once your Dropbox account is installed on them all files you drag in on each computer will be automatically downloaded to all computers using your account.

A computer dude turned me onto it, said he uses it for drivers and utilitie s, but I see people on Usenet and other places using it as well. Security ? I simply don't know but since the government snoops on everything it can't be any worse than anything else.

You can post schematics on alt.binaries.schematics.electronic then direct people there to see your schematic. Some IPs don't allow alt.binaries groups so you might not find it to add to your groups. When Knology dropped newsgroups I went with Eternal-September, works fine. Mikek

+1 for Dropbox and for those unwilling or unable to install it as an application on a PC, it can be used just fine from the web without installing anything. (Providing you don't mind making an account, of course ;) )

The other advantage is that there are Dropbox clients for both iOS and Android, which can be really handy sometimes ;)

Just to clarify for the OP, an account is needed to post the schematic to Dropbox but one is not required by others to view it. The "share link" button creates a secure URL that anyone can use.

Your ISP generally supplies some space, to do with as you wish. And you can use that for a webpage, or even simpler, just put the image in public_html and it will be viewable by the world. That's the neat thing about URLs, you can then put the URL to that image in your message, and then people can view the image, though not necessarily directly.

Of course, the internet has changed and everyone wants to use the cheapest ISP which perhaps no longer offers such things, especially not when all kinds of businesses are offering "free" services. So that creates more reason for ISPs to not provide some space, and soon the internet will be one big commercial bundle.

But, the NSA will probably have a copy of it before you logout out of Dropbox . . .

The best way I have found is to sign up with

Free and super easy to use. I use a throw-away gmail account to sign up with any of these kind of sites just in case... Example of a file I uploaded...

You can always post to a binary group and then refer to it here. Problem is a lot of people have access to usenet but not to binaries any more. Two that people are actively using are:

alt.binaries.schematics.electronic alt.binaries.schematics.electronics

Dropbox . . . "

Of course. The probably got a copy of it beforehand.

You know eventually someone is going to sue the government over this, and b y someone I mean a corporation. They will sue for damages for the expenses incurred transmitting sensitive information via courier on disk or thumbdri ves and shit because it is not yet copyrighted.

They will most likely win, as it is illegal to use any encryption the US go vernment cannot break, plus the fact the NSA employees have misused their p ower to stalk Women and shit like that.

Doubt it ? Hey, this is the USA. Wait until they start suing from other cou ntries in world courts. You think it ain't gonna happen you just keep on th inking that.

What's more, Narus and Verint are largely controlled by foreign entities no t sworn to the US government for secrecy, just like those folks who handle your credit and medical records in India and elsewhere.

I may have made a mistake, I think it is illegal to SELL any encryption the US government cannot break.

As far as I'm aware, even that is not correct. As stated, it would be effectively impossible to enforce, since the prosecution would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the government was unable to break any specific encryption algorithm, and I really doubt that they could force the NSA to provide adequate expert testimony :-)

There are, however, a bunch of laws which regulate the *export* of encryption technologies to purchasers outside the US. In particular, the ITAR rules ("International Traffic in Arms Regulations") cover many technologies, including encryption.

These regs are not as draconian as they were a decade or so ago - in general you can get something like a rubber-stamp approval to export encryption if it's something that is widely available on the Internet (e.g. SSL with common algorithms), and/or if the encryption is done internal to a product and is not externally accessible.

Exporting almost any product incorporating encryption technology to certain unfriendly countries (e.g. North Korea, Iran) is forbidden by law.

You'd need to discuss the current state of the law with a lawyer who is fully up to speed on the ITAR regulations to know what is, or is not exportable these days, under what conditions.

Are you comparing women to shit? On the other hand, is capitalizing "Woman" a sign of respect?

Well that shows you how up to date I am on this shit. I do remember them be ing real pricks about it. The only reason the probably laxed on it is that they are cocky and think the can decript anything. They also think the can whup Russia, China, Iran and India all in one fell swoop with half of South America up their ass, but there's no accounting for brains. They think bec ause they can bug the UN they can run the show. The UN is pissed, but not e nough to move. Besides, they tap evertything everywhere and I don't see how people in other countries couldn't stop that. Oh well, I will die not know ing every secret of the internet.

Bummer eh ?

On the other hand, is capitalizing "Woman" a sign of respect? "

I wrote "and shit like that" referring to like what they are doing implying they are probably doing more shit that just hasn't been revealed as of yet.

I capitalise Man, Woman, Aunt, Uncle, Mother, Father, Constitution and a few other things. I do not capitalise political parties and shit like that.

Am I comparing political parties to shit ?

Yes.

You can also use Photobucket. Like this schematic I have.

OK, now we have given a practical plethora of options here, where's the print ?
