warning - do not buy cms 50d+ from amazon

[TASmart]

As stated before, I am currently in the possession of 3 HP, A Dell, A Toshiba, and an Acer laptop. ALso two mini laptops - Acer and Asus. All 8 laptops have an SD card slot.

In the past 10 years or so, I Haven't met anybody who doesn't have an SD card slot in their laptop. It is very standard. Yes, the CD drives are missing in many newer models. BUt they still have the SD slots. SD cards are super common with phones, cameras, etc. And they really don't take up much space or weight. No reason to stop including them.

The manufacturers need to quit including them because xxyzx says they don't have them and don't need them. And He is always right. Told me so himself, repeatedly.

I had the exact same problem... and the issue is if you let the screen go black its like it goes into "hibernate" mode. just press the button to keep the screen on, and it will work fine.

I waited to post until I could double check to make sure....

I have a 5+ year old NETBOOK, Acer brand, and it definitely has an SD card slot. As a matter of fact, I have a 32GB card IN it to provide additional storage space since the Netbook doesn't have a huge hard drive.

I've got a Thinkpad T61p from late 2008... it's got a SD slot in the front, as does my W520 that I'm using now (which is a 2011 model).

As with so many things said by that end of the line alphabet boy. It's wrong.

What's truly astonishing is the rare instances when he's right... he's not wrong 100% of the time, just the majority.

I have only bought 2 laptops new. One was back in the 90s before wifi and sd cards. The other was about 15 years ago. All of my laptops are used. No idea what the cost new. Most expensive for me was $280.

If you don't look at most laptops, maybe you shouldn't make blanket statements about them. Perhaps you are referring to chrome books which are not true laptops.

it depends what is the vast majority of them
and that is cheaper machines that do not have sd or cd or dvd or even touch screens

My cheap netbook does not have the CD/DVD drive, but I can promise you it has an SD drive as I have a 32gb card in it. Believe it or don't, but you are wrong yet again.

You did work for universities, right? They are funded primarily by Federal and State funds, even private the ones. Are you getting a pension? You live and breathe thanks to the Federal Government and their "socialist programs. GEt off the teat or quit your bitchn'.

A ton of laptops, CHEAP laptops, have been listed, all indicating they have SD drives. You can yell, scream, stomp your feet all you want claiming something, but like a child throwing a temper tantrum, it doesn't prove anything other than you are immature and childish.

And with the other thread - case closed.

and yet when i go to the store i dont see any with sd readers
certainly not cheap ones

Obviously you have no clue what to look for because the rest of us say they are there.

[TASmart]

While there are universities that do not get direct federal/state monies if they do any kind of research at all they get funding from governmental agencies. IF you get SS then you are sucking at that teat, your account is not kept separate. Not that I disagree that there must be a better system, but since private companies have gone away from defined benefit programs to defined contribution, the problem is going to get worse before it gets better. That's a different discussion. My point is that you are sucking at the government teat, and have been ever since you were a toddler. Public schools, private schools with grants and tax breaks, public and private universities, all getting from the mammary glands of big government. the difference is that I realize it, you use it as a self-delusional tool to disparage those that disagree with you while you suck down a full meal of governmental manna.

you say lots of things but you never back it up with any facts

i know what to look for
i see it and the xpap does not

i know what to look for
and the xpap calls normal breathing hypops

i still suspect the sensors in my machine are bad
but i want to know ***HOW*** it decides it is a hypop using the criteria they say they use

We're talking about SD slots in laptops, goofy. Keep up with the conversation!!

[Gryphon]

I'd like to know what "Stores" you've been shopping at that carry these "Really Cheap" laptops. I mean if 300 dollars is expensive then I really really want to know what is a cheap laptop so I can go and by a few of them for me and my wife. I think more or less that "Most" laptop manufactures with in the last 12+ years have been including built in SD card readers as a default device hands down, period, end of discussion.

It's a simple mater of including the device as most pull off an internal usb header and allow for built in connectivity to one of the most common consumer memory devices in the world. Most if not all consumer grade cameras use SD cards. A lot of people use SD cards to increase memory on smaller netbook devices which may have come with limited storage as another example.

I think it should be safe to say that you've lost the argument that only rare or expensive laptops come with built in SD card readers. You've been shown many examples by other members of this forum some with a whole collection of laptop history sitting in their house each and every one with a SD card reader built in...

I my self have happen to own few laptops with out SD card readers built in. You know what they all have in common? Most of them are like 20+ years old. They're sitting on a shelf of knickknacks that I dust now and then. Weather a computer has built in SD at this point has nothing to do with anything other then as something to argue with people about.

O and buy the way... Saying that someone being a "Libtard" means they're more successful and can afford more expensive things may be... how should I put this... Missing the point if your trying to be insulting.

I my self don't find liberal or conservative labels to be very helpful. I think I'm more libertarian then anything but allow common sense to help me to make my own choices based on rational thought rather then towing any particular party line. Maybe that makes me independent, I frankly don't care.

PS: I've noticed that lately when I reply to a post with a long comment that for some reason that post dies... and has no further replies. Ether that's a reflection on me and my verbose writing style or maybe it's just some other cosmic thing going on. Here's to hoping that happens again and this thread can fade away so we can talk about more important things.

Rest well everyone!

you keep proving you are a confused libtard and yes i know that is redundant

i dont want anything from the govt
give me back all the money the govt stole from me and i will take care of myself much better

The definition of steal (Farely Free Dictionary is:

to take (something) from someone, etc without permission or unlawfully, esp in a secret manner
2. (tr) to obtain surreptitiously
3. (tr) to appropriate (ideas, etc) without acknowledgment, as in plagiarism
4. to move or convey stealthily: they stole along the corridor.
5. (intr) to pass unnoticed: the hours stole by.
6. (tr) to win or gain by strategy or luck, as in various sports: to steal a few yards.
7. steal a march on to obtain an advantage over, esp by a secret or underhand measure
8. steal someone's thunder to detract from the attention due to another by forestalling him or her
9. steal the show to be looked upon as the most interesting, popular, etc, esp unexpectedly
n
10. (Law) the act of stealing


The government sotole nothing from you. If you object to taxes then you are free to move to a different country, and have been all your life. If you are brilliant as you claim, many countries would have welcomed you.

But in the meantime, make sure you make no use of any public good, such as roads, power, telephone (all installed using tax breaks) water, sewer. Best make sure that those internet circuits were not installed using any tax relief.

I guess that's your idea, but the concept of illegal is a construct of the government in control. You do not get to determine what is legal, that's the job of the courts. And taxations of all sorts have been challenged and determined to be constitutional. Your understanding/beliefs about the constitution are worth as much as your ill-advised medical advice $0.000000.
