Great file sharing service-NOT SPAM

Just wanted to let you guys know that I found a service to share monsterous files, for FREE.
I just bought a company, and had to send a logo for printing to many companies.

second hard drive

Ok, nice easy question this time. I think I know the answer, but I just want to check. Can I add a second hard drive to a existing computer, simply by plugging it in, and slaving it? I have a existing computer that is running XP, and a dead computer full of files, that was running XP as well. The ol...

The FCC (and our DOC) has beenso busy misdirecting people, as well as the media with the evils of Howard Stern saying the word "Penis", that nobody was watching them rape and pilliage chunks of bandwidth to the highest bidder. Nobody has noticed the many, many BILLIONS of dollars they are ...

Wireless (inductance) recharging

Im looking for ideas on how to make a circuit that will charge using inductance, very much like a cordless toothbrush. Hopefully I wont have to tear apart a cordless tooth brush for parts. All the circuit has to drive is around 4 or 6 ultrabrite flashing LEDS (hopefully, all flashing at a different ...

Its really pricy, because its so specialised, and used less, and less every year as less prototyping, or manufacturing is done using these boards.
