What's the other meaning you attribute to the comment made about Susan Boyle "Looking like a mong"?None other. It's actually quite offensive in that context..
Looking a bit dim/weird. It's not specifically saying Susan Boyle looks like she has down's syndrome.Mong is short for mongoloid, or mongolism, which is literally an older/alternative term for Down's Syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21.
It's the meaning of the term, and the origin of the term. The fact people don't know this doesn't mean Ricky Gervais doesn't. He might seem stupid, but he almost certainly knows that. I don't find him amusing in the slightest, but that has nothing to do with this. It has to do with the fact he isn't funny.

No no, the TouchPad does not have USB Host support.
You can't directly upload stuff to it like this. You need to transfer it from a computer.

Microsoft Security Essentials. You install it and forget about it. All updates even come through normal Windows Update so there's no extra updating or bullshit you have to ever think about.

You've done the wise thing by not falling into the house share trap. FUCK shared rooms in a house. Even if you're there with only friends, it's just an awful idea unless by serendipity you're all amazingly well adjusted and respect each other.. and have jobs..

Here's a nice article about Sandy Bridge and choosing DDR3 to go with it:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4503/sandy-bridge-memory-scaling-choosing-the-best-ddr3/1
Their conclusion is that DDR3-1600 is probably enough, and faster RAM doesn't yield a decent performance increase in real world applications.

If you like the Mac Mini, but you don't like the idea of burning money for the sake of it, and you actually want an optical media drive (even blu-ray, which Apple won't ever give you):

You really think the only source of protein is animal products? Oh dear

Huh. I've been vegan for almost 10 years, I guess about 10 in November or something like that.
I don't tend to talk about it though, because people sometimes give you shit, as if they're offended you don't eat the same things they do, so there are people I've known for a long time who don't realise it. I don't have any friends who are vegan.

Oh, I know what a SIM card is, I just thought it was a lot of hassle. I mean, how many texts am I gonna send while I'm there - 2, 3, 10 max? How expensive can that be?It's cheap. Texts are regulated by the EU to be something like 12p a text.
It's more expensive for me to text from the UK to Denmark than it is for me to text someone in Denmark, when I'm in Denmark, using a UK phone...

Over here beers are like, our national drinks or something. Belgians take pride in the many many beers that are produced here and the quality of them. It's a bit weird that Stella Artois is sold so much abroad, when many people here wouldn't consider it very good I think.I don't drink beer myself. I've tried it once or twice, but I didn't like the taste of it at all. Maybe if I tried different types I would find one I like, but I don't feel like trying. =P
The only beer I'll drink is Kriek, which is beer with cherries heh.
Just to say, thank you, Belgium. You are the best beer nation. :3
Kriek is pretty good, but believe me, there are a lot more like that from Belgium. Infact, I love wheat beer... ahhh.. and all those different trappist beers that are so strong... mmmm <3

Hitler was a great man, and to be compared to him would surely be an honour

I feel like liberty should be defended, but at the same time, fuck smoking.
Especially on beaches, fuck, kids play in that sand, and smokers just cover the fag end over with a bit of sand, out of sight, out of mind!

Fuck knows, he plays WoW though and he texted me a while back asking why I hadn't been on so often.
But yeah, not in the channel, which is sad.
This is a glorious thread!

I use Adblock Plus AND Noscript and temporarily allow sites all the time, rarely permanently.
I don't have problems with youtube, but I'm more than happy to skip around a few options to get things to work in exchange for security

I'm not old! I might be 25 but fuck that shit, I'm not old

Yeah, you pretty much need MSN.
I don't have a Facebook account. I do use AIM, ICQ, IRC, MSN though, but not Yahoo! anymore since I don't know a single person that still uses it

Is Ricky Gervais a 'mong'?
in General Chit Chat

Yes, she does look like a mong, because she is a sufferer of mongolism (Down's Syndrome). It's a pretty inappropriate comment, no matter how you look at it
