    Uh, no, he agreed that it was better for the movie that shooting webs was part of his genetic mutation. Why?
    I heard he disagreed.
    Because it would have been fucking stupid. If all the sudden he's able to make super-industrial-strength web shooter complete with reloadable cartridges...in a far-fetched movie, that just pushes it to the realm of stupidity.
    It was a plot point in the comics (I read them when I was much younger). His webbing dissolved after about an hour, I think, and he occasionally ran out.

    As an aside, you really should look at this.

  8. Re:My obligitory response to all spam threads on Analysis of Spam, and a Proposed Solution · · Score: 1
    The idea: multiple, sender/use specific addresses on the client side. Basically instead of having one address with your ISP, you would have the ability to create up to 50 aliases to your account. Not that these are not 50 accounts, all of your mail still winds up in the main mail account at your ISP.
    Postfix has sort of a built-in mechanism for this; recipient_delimiter (defaults to "+"). Say you send to bob@host and bob+foo@host; they both go to bob, but if bob has a file ~/.forward+foo, that's specific to that one address (falls back to the ~/.forward, then to the local transport). Once you're done with the temporary address, just blow away .forward+whatever, and have the master .forward check to see if a) it was sent to bob+whatever, and b) if .forward+whatever still exists.

    Fun stuff.

    Y'know, I've recently started liking Debian for apt-get. Sometimes when I'm feeling lazy, it's nice to just be able to *have* something.

    On the other hand, there are definitely times you need to compile from source, especially when you need to hack something. And you never know quite where those files are going to *go* ... /usr/local/bin, or /bin? /usr/local/etc, or /etc? ...Etc. :-)
