Well, if they blow hard enough, they might be able to rock somebody.

The correct sequence for business, politics and everything is of now:
#1F648 #1F649 #1F64A

Gotta love the effort that went into providing the proper symbols.

From the TOS...

That basically states: /. can do whatever it likes with whatever you write, whether you like it or not.

In all essence, you lost all copyright control on a post when posting it on /. because you cannot control a "perpetual, irrevocable" license.

The whole paragraph is a basic rubber-stamp boiler-plate formulation that makes a mockery of copyright.

I second that emotion.

You forgot the most important layers:
8) friends
9) money
10) politics

We do know the ??? step:
1. Buy $100,000+ in lottery tickets
2. Wait for bad statistics to become really bad
3. Profit! ..for the rich.

But, if you are already uploading the schematic for all to see, why not simply upload the source files next to them and create a little thingy called a link? Why take a detour through a third party?

That is why we export drill files and Gerber files from the PCB design files (not the schematic).

But the purpose is apparently sharing of the schematic. So, you can upload an image for viewing, but also the /source/ for others to use. Why would you need a client side monster webscript?

Why would you want a service that takes the crap out of your browser (it is slow) for something that you can do so easily with a common "export" function?
What is wrong with a png image? Or what about a pdf file? At least those would be easy to print.
I guess I miss to see the purpose of that web2.0 thingy and prefer plain old formats.

I strongly suggest that they search for certain hydro-carbon compounds. "Drinking" black hole may have to be revised into "Drunk" black hole.
