The best reason right now is that if you didn't have a TWIC on April 15th, you don't have a USCG license either. Think about that one if you get...
That's not a very shipshape sheepship. :o
Linking your TWIC card to a gun locker on a merchant ship is a bit of a non sequitur. Merchant vessels enter ports with weapons all the time....
Here's someone else's opinion. From an intellectual property attorney: http://www.bitlaw.com/copyright/unprotected.html "Another interesting...
Good judgement call. ;)
Are you suggesting that Starck merely put his name on the design and is claiming credit for something that BandV picked up after it "fell of the...
Since the issue never made it off these pages it is a stretch to call it a "case." A bruised ego doesn't make it far in court or life. I didn't...

How big is the boat? Is it classed? How much time are you going to put on your generators and main engines each year. A lot of the work is...
Not so original at all. I guess you haven't been following the thread closely, I am the one who claims that, in this context, a published...
A 30,000 lb boat doing 20 knots has considerably less energy than a 60,000 lb boat doing 20 knots and whole lot less than a 15,000 pound boat so...
Like the lawyers say, "Don't ask a question unless you already know the answer." The videos that probably best reflect real life are the ones...
See post #97. Are there US government spies in Eurpean yacht design offices, or have American defence contractors morphed into yachting...
I would suggest that the DDG-1000 project didn't start a "design trend." How one might describe the "hauntingly familiar" resemblance might be...
Hey, corn is passe' as an ethanol feedstock, we've moved on to algae and such. And to keep on topic, some jellyfish have an energy density (kj per...
