The Ultimate S.U.V.
Max the Merciless writes: "Take one part KITT, one part 007, one part Unimog, throw in a whole lot of high technology and you get the MaxiMog, perhaps the ultimate SUV! The MaxiMog is a go anywhere, do anything 'expedition system'. The vehicle (and trailer) runs a total of 7 separate computers, a high speed network and a google of different communications devices. I enquired as to the operating systems, and apparently "real time and safety related systems control run under QNX, scheduling and communications management under Linux, and there are a few apps that run under OS9/OSX and WinNT (hate the NT stuff, but some of the communications software is yet to be ported to anything else)". However, my favourite feature is the "High Intensity Air horn system - two air horns producing 137dba at 15 feet in front of vehicle. Note -- Due to high sound pressure levels only for use off road when no personnel are nearby!"
I hate to play the grammar nazi, but the word should be googol, not Google (TM). Google is joke word, based loosely on the idea of a lot of data being searched, or a lot of people using the search engine, etc. See Google's corporate info page if you're curious.
This thing looks like it's going to roll over like a Samurai.
Am I missing something here or is this just a giant waste of resources?
... mine's bigger!
ok, redundant maybe, but its not fair to call mplex a troll now
May you be touched by His Noodly Appendage. RAmen.
First of all, the thing is not for sale. Second, I don't know what country you're from, but maybe we should just close our "fucking" borders and then see how disrespectful you are when your economy collapses and terrorists take over your country. Get a life.
