"any notion of sending these 20-generation, half-the-speed-of-light fanciful starships to other stars is a waste - unless you WANT your great-grandaughter to watch someone overtake them, waving as they go"

You're assuming that propulsion technology will continue to improve over the course of a century, and that FTL travel is possible. However, there's a big possibility that neither of these is true.

Or you could, I dunno, NOT maximize your application. You might even find that there's room for more than one on there.

So... it's some kind of restaurant? But you have 40 employees, so I'm going to guess 'large hotel'.

In TFA, they say the energy will be stored in fuel cells.

So... you also feel robots are the way to go?

Best guess is that each FCX Clarity costs 500,000 US to produce. An exec was quoted as saying it costs half as much as the previous version, which was a million. I have yet to see a remotely affordable fuel-cell hydrogen vehicle. The cheapo ones use a hydrogen combustion engine, and have awful range.

False dichotomy.

False dichotomy.

I was thinking about RMS, but it's hard to respect someone who picks stuff off the bottom of his feet and eats it. While giving a presentation. I do however feel a great deal of gratitude towards him and all his hard work.

Respect, not so much.

You'll never get money out of Xerox for copying something.

Get a hotel room then go visit Club Elite.

And then what happens? Do they have internet, or what?
