Windows > Linux CD-R backups > Dropbox Two monitors > One 30" Dell Monitor (Best purchase ever btw) Pirating Music > Spotify (I even pay a subscription) TV > Youtube, BBC iPlayer, other steaming services (and now no TV licence fee) Crap diet > Learning to cook Paperwork > iPad IDE > gEdit Landline > Mobile I'm sure there are others. One thing i'd love to do is live totally off the grid, reuse water, generate own electricity, grow own food, live in middle of no where. The only thing i cant figure out how to do is a decent net connection...

I'm with you on the > gEdit (well, I use Scribes instead). You need an editor that gets out of your way.

>> and now no TV licence fee Nope, if you're watching TV programs on your computers or smartphones (iPlayer) you still have to pay UK TV licence.

  Nope, only if you're watching live (as it's being broadcast) TV.

    My bad, didn't knew that.

  I believe a TV license is required to watch the live streams, not VOD content.
- TamDenholm 16y ago
  Like others have said, its only applicable to live streams. I very carefully read the terms before i stopped paying the license.

Could you elaborate on IDE > gEdit? I'm really curious here, especially what PL's are you mainly using and what kind of projects are you working on. Also do you use and plugins with gEdit? As an emacs user and lisp programmer I can imagine ditching some of the features, but there are also some I couldn't live without (like paredit and repl integration).

  I'm a web developer, i write php, html, css, js mainly. So IDE's are totally unnecessary. I have a development server i connect to via sftp and edit on that, i use dropbox as my source control since 99% of the time i'm a single developer and it stops me having to remember to check anything in. It also makes deployment to live pretty easy too. I dont use any external plugins or anything, everything i use comes out the box with gEdit, the file browser side pane, highlighting, indenting and thats about it. I imagine its a lot easier from a web dev's perspective than from actual programmers.

It looks like you're saying "Windows is greater [for me] than Linux" but I suspect you were miscopying the OP's use of "=>"? > => =>
- TamDenholm 16y ago
  While i believe the former statement to be true :P, my intention was the same as the OP's. I'd edit the > to be => but the edit link has expired. :(
