The Quattro 6000D: this ain't your grandmomma's sewing machine - http://www.engadgethd.com/2008...

"The latest piece of tech in the war on grandmas has gotta be Brother's Quattro 6000D sewing machine, a beastly machine with specs that will help even the most diligent granny patch up those quilts or ripped teddies more efficiently. Once you get past the huge 50-inch workspace, you'll notice the 4.5 x 7-inch Sharp HD LCD display and embedded runway lighting. Brother's "InnovEye" and "Up-Close Viewer" technology places a camera right next to the needle to give the user a birds-eye view on the LCD to allow perfect placement before stitching. Advanced embroidery features and built-in tutorials should certainly mitigate any mishaps, and should you get the urge to plug every flash drive you own into it, there are 3 USB ports."

I wonder how the multi-color embroidery works on these. Can it rethread the needle on its own, or do you have to be careful to keep your registration point consistent between spools?
- Jason Wehmhoener
Seriously though, what you want is a serger. These fancy embroidery machines are a bit silly (unless, for some odd reason, you want to do lots of embroidery).

Spidra has a point. My mom's old Kenwood is a lot more dependable than my electronic Singer gizmo. When you sew jeans, etc. no amount of LCD screen is going to help you- you just need an industrial strength, mechanical beast.
- anna sauce
Mechanical beasts++
- Jason Wehmhoener
Jason makes a great point. I've been checking out these machines for almost 10 years now, but most of them really are just glorified embroidery machines. The "real" sewers I know don't go info this stuff instead using their old fashion machines. These machines are for crafters not tailors/seamstresses.
- Anika
I'm sorry Dave but I can't stitch that....
- mikepk
if I am honest I prefer a simpler, mechanical sewing machine - they were built to last a lifetime. Somehow I doubt those are.
- Iphigenie
you're right - i saw quilts patterns this summer that were near fractal - no way they are manual
- Iphigenie
Spidra, but most of those quilters who do (IME) are either newbies or making a ton of quilts for sale. It has to be appealing to set up your pattern on the computer, hook up the USB and press start on your machine, while you walk away to make some coffee or something. And it's faster? Still, for your simple straight lines, my old Singer and my Brother machines are perfect.
- Anika
My mom uses a mechanical beast to do some pretty complex quilt patterns. The funny thing is that she feels guilty about using a machine. Real quilters do it by hand. ;-)

Argentina On Two Steaks A Day - http://www.idlewords.com/2006...

"Eating steaks in Argentina feels like joining a cult. You find yourself leaning on friends to come visit, and writing YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND in all caps more often than feels comfortable. Argentine beef really is extraordinary. Almost all of this has to do with how the cows are raised. There are no factory feedlots in Argentina; the animals still eat pampas grass their whole lives, in open pasture, and not the chicken droppings and feathers mixed with corn that pass for animal feed in the United States. Since this is the way of life a cow was designed for, it is not necessary to pump the animal full of antibiotics. The meat is leaner, healthier and more flavorful than that of corn-fed cattle. It has fewer calories, contains less cholesterol, and tastes less mushy and waterlogged than American meat. And the cows spend their lives out grazing in the field, not locked into some small pen. You can taste the joy."

YES!!! I tried to explain to everyone here: Argentines have no concept of a steak knife. You get a butter knife with your steak because that's all you need.
- FFing Enigma
I've always heard about these amazing steaks. I will try when I get an opportunity.
- Eric
oh wonderful, juicy, tender bife de lomo *drool*
- Carmen wBabby
It's always funny to me when at the Argentinian grills here in LA, when people don't order the steak. It's like going to produce stand and asking about frozen veggies. Yes, the chicken is delightful, but really the steak is where it's at.
- Anika
Drool.

I don't eat the stuff but this is very interesting - factory farms are horrid and besides, they don't produce good meat anyway.
- Anthony Citrano
from fftogo
It looks like a regular Churrascaria in São Paulo ;)
- Bibi
I just returned from my family's farm in Arkansas. They raise beef the same way that every other beef farmer I've ever heard of outside of a PETA video does; on open pastures with hay that we put up in summer, and occasionally feedstock in the winter (the same as Argentinians must since they have cold winters too). So I'm sorry, but to me, you don't sound like you know what you're talking about.
- Jesse Hattabaugh
Bibi, I lived in Brazil for a year. There is no comparison. :)
- Alejandro
Jesse, grassfed beef as youv'e described is IMO always tastier than grain fed beef. With that said: the cows here don't eat the same grass that they do in Argentina. Any the flavor of any herbivorous animal is going to be affected by the specific species of plants they eat (and by extension the soil composition that those plants grow in). Therein lies the difference.
- FFing Enigma
Bibi, as much as I love churrascaria, the beef at an Argentinian grill is 1000x better. Tastes better and is better prepared. When go to a churrascaria, I tend toward the chicken.

- WoH: Minding her Steves
WorldofHiglet: Depends on the rules you're going by. Movies generally go by the "director's cut" if one exists. Comics/books go by the most recent revision. Some argue that movies go with the original theatrical release, which is a strong argument (and in all reality should be what we hold them to), but if that is what was intended, then there wouldn't have been a "director's cut". ;)
- xero
Well I am invoking the little known 'Higlet scenario' whereby if I think the director has lost his way en route to his own Great Pit of Carkoon then I get to decide which cut is right. Works for all of Lucas' work and also Bladerunner :)

I think there's something corrosive and/or toxic in our tank because when I'm going to have to completely replace the apparatus that I installed just a few years ago. Considering what I paid for it, it should have lasted longer.
- Akiva
Often times the Clorox little whitening tablets have bleach in them and they have a corrosive effect on the plastic, especially the 'plunger' that seals the tank from the rest of the bowl. If you hear it 'run' randomly every few minutes or so, it's because of leaking around the edges of this plunger. If you see your plunger is all 'wrinkly' around the edges, it's probably from the bleach eating into the plastic. At Home Depot you can get a bleach safe plunger for < $10 or so.

meh. he thinks users will be horribly, horribly confused by taskbar mixing non-running app icons with running app icons. he says mixing the two is "a whopper of a mistake" and will, quote, "actively harm" most users. actively harm? like put someone's eye out? of course if you do the exact same thing (mix running & nonrunning app icons) and call it the "OS X Dock," it's no doubt an intuitive work of staggering GENIUS!!!
- Karim
also he thinks users will be confused by Libraries, despite the existence of "Smart Playlists" in iTunes, "Search Folders" in Outlook, etc. though he doesn't say that it will Actively Harm™ them in this case.
- Karim
After using the earlier build, the taskbar definitely takes some getting used to so I would agree that the new interface is a bit clunky. As long as they can increase security and performance I think they will be ok.
- Brandon Titus
i personally would consider "clunky" separate from "takes some getting used to," though the difference is clearly subjective. some of the time it just sounds like the reviewer is freaking out because something is *different* (not better or worse, just different) and then projecting their own unease onto the rest of the population. the review ends up describing the author's resistance to change instead of a describing the usability of a product.
