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.
Age Requirements: Any person born on or after January 1, 1989 must complete an approved boater safety education course in order to operate a motorboat or sailboat on public waters in Kansas. This requirement does not apply to anyone 21 years of age or older, regardless of their date of birth. Out-of-state boaters who boat on Kansas waters must comply with these education requirements. All states provide a NASBLA standard that will also be acceptable in Kansas.
