If it is Spanish Navy, it must be for the same purpose as the American Coast Guard training true "tall ship", the Eagle, pics attached. She has indeed a steel hull like The Eagle. Here a nice little movie of the Juan Sebastian Elcano on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIn-O7piw4Q As you know, Bouler, I'm not a fool and I don't lead with my chin wrt facts or things I assert. So, I either can be reasonably sure by just looking often, I can and do do some Googling if my comments might turn out to be embarrassing if I'm really wrong. Thus, I was Ivory Soap Pure sure that the Juan is steel-hulled, just as I correctly nailed the same thing in a number of your reposts for me when I first docked in this here deep water port. As for YouTube, never touch the stuff! Most people know I have an information security background that's pretty extensive and I also have a MAJOR committment of time and energy to everything digital and techie, so I already KNOW that YouTube is a really juicy place for the bad guys to plant nasties in the videos, and do other not-so-nice things such as grap IPs for future compromise attempts, maybe snag an E-mail addy from them stupid enough to post in the clear, etc. And, ALL of the dangers are an order of magnitude higher - maybe 2 orders of magnitude or even more - if one is running on ANY HTTP system vs. NNTP. Well I liked the movie with information of the ship. One of the first good quotes I learned when I was doing a deep dive trying to learn my new job as Engineering Information Security Manager in the late summer of 1996 was this one: "the only two types of people that've never been compromised are the arrogant and the ignorant. Which are you? Both? And, maybe foolish as well? My sister-in-law is so damn dumb as to actually giver here PERSONAL E-mail to a Yahoo Groups "news group" for poodles! And, she gets MORE than 250 E-mails a day! Dumb, dumb, dumb! Why so many? Well, everybody build dist lists and adds people as they see interest and pretty soon you're on dozens and dozens of people dist lists, often multiple times as people are too lazy to remove the dups. 250/day? WTF?! That's 250 times that the bad guys could - in your word - snag her entire address book and 250 times the bad guys - or gals - could do mischief to her PC. She claims that she knows all of them and they're her friends. Poppycock! So, unless one practices safe sex on the Internet, "a fool and his money AND time are soon parted." Maybe you should spend more of your meager financial resources and time LEARNING about ships instead of wasting it just watching movies about ships. This is really off the wall. Bouler courteously offered some nice thoughts, and Hemi jumps all over him! What gives? What happened to civility? You are so right. I had him killed filed and took him out to examine the slug. He is back where he belongs in the kill file. |

Bouler is a mental case who doesn't know how to deal with people nor does he know jack **** about boats and ships. You appear to be the same, so **** Off, Shut The **** Up, and Go The **** Away - permanently. -- HP, aka Jerry "You've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a ****!" |
