god, see what i mean! thread-jacking! its not just an innocent little tangent, someone starts talking politics, JuirjD shows up, and no one shuts up for a two weeks until everyone gets tired of it and appologizes to each other.
lets skip it.
im talking about the ugly bead-bLasted aluminum catamaran that looks like a ferry boat. I thought I could make fun of England for their cheap aluminum hulls that ignite and burn when hit by exocet missiles, but now we have them too. but whats cool about it, are all the automated systems. sure, maybe not the best thing in real wartime, but the premise is cool and it could be a sign of things to come.
its pretty much all computerized, i saw some articles about it Last year, but slashdot had a link to a big writeup today:
