This is a Linux device! Linux is NOT simple! But it is NOT complex!
FIGURE IT OUT!
Call me an a**hole elitist, but the amount of people that do not know their left from their right foot, yet want nitdroid, every game emulator that is around and what not installed, and then start complaining when their device no longer works as well as they had hoped, well, all that is tiring.

Titles like; "Help, this is no good!!!!??!! Need answers NOW", postings without any form of explanation; "Tried to uninstall X or Y, but itīs crashing or something, I dunno. Need advice.", I am growing really, really tired of them.

Somehow I canīt help but think that A: People are too stupid to think for themselves. B: People are too lazy. C: People lack even the most basic search-engine skills. D: People seem to think their time is more valuable than the people they ask for help.

Donīt get me wrong: If people are showing an effort to solve their problems on their own, but have bumped into something on the road, I am more than willing to help, provided I have the knowledge they need. Self-sufficiency does not fall out of the blue skye, and I guess for most of the tech-savvy people on this forum it goes that they learnt most of the things they know from the internet. However, there used to be a time where RTFM was not considered an insult perse, but rather a criticism to get of your *** and google it yourself. Nowadays people react to that as if you just told them theīre a pedophile.

What have we done wrong? We hide in our little corner of the Internet and stick to ourselves...
Perhaps itīs EOL of the n900, with lots of new and unknowing people having bought one second-hand. People that would never have bought the machine if they would have had to pay the full price.

PS: I quit reacting on postings that are unreadable, that are written in such horrific english that itīs impossible to know what they are trying to say.
