What drives are the slots compatible with?

I like having 2 drives. This seems to only have a slot for one drive? It doesn't take too long until you end up with TBs of stuff.

We're probably using more carbon now, then in the 90s. You have to look at the total carbon output of the world.

Keeping the T420 and T420s goings gets expensive, battery replacements get too pricey.

I find the Dell website frustrating, many times I would click on a laptop ad only to find a 'temporarily out of stock', message.

I wondering if one country stepped in and called for standardized package (and fined those that didn't use it), would it be a tipping point?

Do you think in the future some form of standardized shipping packages will become the norm? Much like the standard metal shipping container became the norm in the trucking industry. That way more automation can be incorporated across the

I don't see this as a case of 'information speed'. It's more like, who wants to wait more than 30 days for a package to get delivered. Each yearly task takes specific tools and ingredients, that you can't wait for.

It's really about trading routes. Today different regions of the world specialize in different industries. You get competition between people vying in the same industry and between trading partners. Communication really doesn't

The Liberals are in a coalition with the NDP, combined the two parties received a majority of the popular vote. A better example would be Doug Ford in Ontario. Ford's Conservatives received only 41% of the popular vote but took 67% of

Published in 1907, by Fernow Bernhard. Turns into a political history. Inadvertently becomes an excellent history of economy, the transition from feudal to early capitalist. Taking one industry, that historically was the the fuel that pow

100s of Billions are needed to just upgrade existing rail to being electric and reliable. Even just upgrading the speed slightly and making rail reliable would be helpful. Most roads, and highways, can be retrofitted with some type of pass

It's hard to think about how much technological change, and economies of scale played a part in our history. In the 1920s suburbs became possible because of telephones, light bulbs,and radio, as much as they became possible because of

The U.S.A. also went through rapid de-industrialization for the last 30 years. Look at what is called the 'rust belt' in the North-East. Does the U.S.A., need all the bridges and roads it once built. Detroit is contracting. So

To call it 'self-funded' is a bit of a stretch. Most rail financing went bankrupt and had to have been bailed up by the government at some point. Even though rail was a greenfield project, native treaty rights were trampled, that

At this point in history, I think we really need to stop building in green-fields, farmland, etc. and only concentrate on redevelopment. We are past the point of ecological sustainability.

For people like Steven King, if he posts something on Facebook his fans will re-post it on Twitter, and vice-versa. If too many things trend on other platforms, but not on Twitter, people will leave Twitter because it is not keeping up.

But the kids with the iPhones will be the financier controlling the purse strings. See the Commodore vs. IBM clones vs. Mac in the early 1980s. Apple wins because wealthy people use them, it's Apple's advantage.

It allowed people to be quantified with a single number, 'he owes X amount of dollars', 'he has X amount of dollars'. During the dark ages, and early middle ages, people didn't have much money. Instead there were co

I'd say the time from 1830's to about 1930's was the era of greatest change. The introduction of trains in the early 1800s literally changed the DNA of England. As people started to regularly traveled 100's of miles awa

Similar sentiments from me. I think there is something to be said for, lack of a better word, the continuity of history. 70 years with the same monarch. A system of monarchy, for over a 1000 years. It is a symbolic role, but symbols are p
