You need a simple strategy like Linn's, just replace every C with a K and you're rokking. Why not use the collective power of the forum to help you? It will obviously descend into an argument - but might be an interesting exercise nevertheless.

Should the definition of luxury change from place to place in an arbitrary fashion or should it be fixed so as to apply equally the world over? Or do we need another word? I was going to leave this alone, but this is nonsense. Why does luxury have to have a fixed definition the world over...

If the perception of what is essential has changed, then surely it follows that our perception of what a luxury is, has also changed.

I don't disagree with you about music - but I think whether you die or not is not a valid definition in today's society. Taking your food example, would you consider a fridge a luxury? What about an oven? What about utilities - water on tap? Electricity at the flick of a switch? Would you...

If you treat it as an exercise in semantics, then luxury is black and white. I'd argue that the definition evolves with society.

Unfortunately this only works if wives are constants, it would require blind ABXing of a sample of wives to be a valid. Where are the studies?!

Active speakers are almost certainly the answer.

Hard to argue against the convenience of a streamer once set up - even that's not too difficult with a bit of research.

Really sad. RIP Lou Reed.

Ozymandias - wow, just wow!

Are you using a static IP address? I ran into similar problems when I changed routers and didn't notice it was using DHCP.

Thank you and I agree with you about the disc format. It's refreshing to not have to worry about Internet stability, accepted formats or gapless playback!
