OpenGL 3.3 was also just released, providing as many of the new version 4 features as possible to older graphics hardware. (http://www.opengl.org has a list of all these new features). OpenGL is still extremely important for CAD as 70% of CAD applications use it.
Nebraska requires a Boater Education Certificate for boaters, and not a boating license. The regulatory authority for the card is the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. The card is mandatory for all boat operators above the age of 14. If you are under 14 years of age, you are not eligible to operate a motorboat in Nebraska. Those under 18 years must have completed a boater education and must possess a course certificate. The laws also require that the person operating a boat should not be under the influence of intoxicants.
How old do you have to be to operate a boat? 1  No person under 16 years of age may operate a motorboat of more than 15 horsepower, except for a sailboat that does not exceed 30 feet in length or a dinghy used directly between a moored boat and the shore, or between two moored boats. You do not have to have boater's insurance in California. 2  In some states there is a requirement to carry insurance, so always check with the boating law administrator's office in the state you plan to boat in.
