-	~~== Introduction ==~~

-	~~Hello, I am an pseudo-anonymous Maemo 5 user. I go by the name Mr. R, or by my username and IRC chat name: mrrhq~~
-
-	~~The first part of my name "mrr" means "Mr. R", and "hq" means "headquarters". So the full title of my username is read as "Mr. R Headquarters".~~
-
-	~~== About my descision to purchase the N900 ==~~
-
-	~~When deciding if the N900 should be my first Linux-based smartphone, I has a few factors to decide: Functionality, FOSS, and cost.~~
-
-	What was really the key descision was cost and functionality. Consider this: The OpenMoko smartphone and the OpenPandora device, are basically two seperate devices, with their own intended purpouse, while the N900 has hybrid functionality of these two devices.
-
-	~~The OpenPandora has an 800x480 screen, and the OpenMoko phone does not.~~
-	~~The OpenPandora has dual speakers, and the OpenMoko phone does not.~~
-	~~The OpenPandora has a full '''physical''' keyboard, and the OpenMoko phone does not.~~
-
-	~~The OpenMoko has GSM/HSDPA functionality '''built-in''', and the OpenPandora device does not.~~
-
-	~~Both devices have a 600Mhz (or close to 600Mhz) CPU, stylus, resistive touchscreen (for higher prescision, unlike capacitive), an audio port and USB ports.~~
-
-	~~The N900 has higher pixel density, and it fits in your pocket (unlike the Pandora). But the Pandora has 10 hours of battery life to compensate for this.~~
-
-	~~On top of that, the N900 even has an FM transmitter and reciever, and IR transmitter, TV Out. a kickstand and a dual-flash 5MP camera.~~
-
-	The N900 is even cheaper on eBay ebcause of the Android/iOS market share and price deflation. It's only $200! And the OpenPandora is around 550$, and the even ''less'' functional (overall) OpenMoko smartphone is around $700!
-
-	~~'''The only catch is that the N900 is not completely FOSS (yet)!'''~~
-
-	~~Also, The N900 is currently, even in 2012, '''the most functional portable device in the entire world.''' No other device in the entire world matches its functionality.~~
-
-	Which is so absurd, it makes me want to kill people (don't worry, I'm not ''that'' insane), Why are people so stupid such that they cannot handle or understand the N900's true potential and capabilities? The marketing ploy of Apple, Android, Blackberry, and others, makes me sick to a limitless extent.
-
-	~~Humanity is really stupid in my opinion. So if you own an N900, you should not be crippled with technology illeteracy, (unless you have an OpenMoko. I support those too).~~
-
-	But the N900 is not FOSS, so I have to live with that. I have sinned against Richard Stallman's philosophy: that all software should be FOSS. But that should change. What fun is it for proprietary software to not exist for hackers to work around? It's true that even RMS has used proprietary software in the past, and hacked with it to create free software.
-
-	Let's do the same thing with Maemo 5. Let's no longer be controlled by corprotocracy and the now shunned views from Nokia, whom no longer supports Maemo 5. Let's use ethical ways to make money, to support Maemo developers and get Maemo completely open source, while avoiding the burdens of software patent and trade laws. Let's make Maemo free and open source software for everyone who uses the N900!
-
-	~~I plan to spend my remaining time on the Maemo community website helping to make the Maemo 5 OS 100% libre and open source, or even helping Mer/Nemo to achieve the same goal!~~
-
-	~~== removebloat.sh ==~~
-
-	~~Removebloat.sh has been removed because I want to focus more on this article instead: [[Fremantle closed packages]]. Which includes some of the "bloatware" I was discussing about~~
-
-	~~== Contribute to Open Source ==~~
-
-	I hightly urge you to contribute FOSS to Maemo 5, to make the N900 a 100% libre and open source device, or to the extent permitted by law (because some juristictions require proprietary GSM firmware, and more).
