+1. OSMC works very well on my Pi 3 (must say I use default Kodi skin rather than OSMC one). It pretty much just works.

Even a B+ can't render Web pages for mainstream sites fast enough. Would that this were not the case, but it can't, I've tried - at least Raspbian and Ubuntu Mate

Actually, the article states about half of those diagnosed have average or above average intelligence.
Statistically, half of any random sample of any population will have average or above average intelligence.

It means that I've never watched a DVD on my laptop as all the ones I've tried have that shit and even with properly licensed DVD playing software and a DVD compliant drive, I can't watch it.
I've never had a problem watching a DVD on a Mac. Not trolling, but there you are.

Well, people in Europe still suffer from text messages costing money if sent across borders. Anachronistic with a culture that thrives more and more on international communication, but that needs some sort of fix.
And WA was that fix. Dunno what I'll use now.
People in the US pay to *receive* SMS. WRT current discussion - who cares, either pay trivial amount to send SMS, or pay trivial amount to via contact numerous media channels. Boring Disclaimer - I actually communicate with people (including many relatives) across the world electronically

The comment threshold system is fundamentally broken.
This is the part that kills me. As far as I can tell, there is no way to expand/view the parents or children of highly-moderated posts without viewing at -1, at which point the highly-moderated posts get lost in the noise. Lots of "Funny" replies where I can't even open the parent post to get the context of the joke.
Maybe none of this really matters.
