Ummm, no, no they don't.

Yes some (not all) ships have CCTV, but usually it is for security rather than safety purposes. The machinery spaces on passenger ships will normally have a cctv feed back to the engine control room and sometimes the bridge and these will be monitored after a fashion by the engineering officer of the watch, but there are not normally cameras pointing over4 the ship's side which are continually monitored, any that are fitted are probably there for mooring purposes to give the bridge an idea of distance from the quay or to monitor the gangway when the vessel is in port.

I blame TV documentaries for leading me to believe otherwise

Although you'd think they'd have some form of CCTV considering the number of passengers aboard.

I'm pretty sure he got that software from the April Fool's School of Photoshopping Techniques

The fake-sounding software name and presence of only screenshots should act as your first indicators. For starters, no one has numbered anything as "2000" for the sake of sounding futuristic since, well, 2000!

I have nothing to add to that.

It's indeed just some photoshop fun I sometimes have. I would never publish official footage and announcements inside the cookie box.

Quantum-computer graphics, although Cryengine 3 comes extremely close with water quality.

I have attached a benchmark PDF I did with the following games:
Crysis2
Ship Simulator Extremes
Tomb Raider
Mafia 2
Minecraft
Just Cause 2
F.E.A.R. 3
Metro 2033
Mass Effect 3

Hmm, Fs-uk is really sinking low, I rated a message as Funny, few minutes later i got a personal message from a Goderator, Saying i should Grow up and To use the system correctly And if i did it again i would get a warning on my profile.
Though, i take no warning, As i've requested multiple times to take down the profile.

Nice, now all you need is the Queen Victoria!

Here in Duluth we have:

John D. Leitch, at inside anchorage waiting on heavy weather.

Cason J. Callaway, at the CN docks to load iron ore.

Vaasaborg, at General Mills to load beet pulp pellets.

Federal Kumano, at anchor off Duluth piers.

Let me decide for myself whether or not I make a joke shall we?

The images and the description of the "GraphicsAndPerformance-Enhancer2000 4.0" are obviously fake for the reasons RMS Gigantic pointed out precisely. It's not so hard to detect you know.

As long as nobody is harmed, things like this should be no problem.
