Actually, if you read his wikipedia entry, it turns out that Lamarck wasn't extraordinary in the view of inheriting features. Darwins opinion was similar.
Only the next generation (Neolamarckism) extremed the point of view (giraffes, etc) and Lamarck got held responsible. Luckily he died first:-)
You can go public domain, but: Say you give someone your hard work, and they forward it to someone else, those people might not be able to take advantage of your hard work. It might be sold to them, limited in usage, etc.
So limiting the rights to change the rights of your hard work might be what you want to ensure freedom of the software. GPL (especially v3), Apache, EUPL, even BSD-style licenses try to ensure this.
Btw.: Did anyone use the EUPL yet or has an opinion about it? Sure, it's not in common use yet and time will tell if it is in a acceptable version, but it looks like a good thing to me.
Also, there are sites where you can upload your HijackThis! logfile to get information about the entries (with users ratings), especially the ones you don't know.
However, I'd advice to first try to use the normal uninstall methods for fixing things like spyware, unneeded search bars, etc. and then use HijackThis!' "fix" commands.
It's quite common for historical figures to be mentioned by their first names. Rembrandt, Napoleon, Dante, and Leonardo come to mind.

There is a cutoff date (and I forget exactly when, but basically at the start of the baroque period) where one starts calling European historical figures by their last names. Michaelangelo Buonorotti is referred to by his first name, but Michaelangelo Caravaggio is referred to by his last.
That is the chance and duty of freedesktop.org. Combining the parts that are common and the platforms can agree upon. Defining the standards (like trash, cache, drag+drop, etc.). It is getting better and better (e.g. I think KDE+GNOME both use DBUS now? ), some services/libs (NetworkManager) are already commonly used. What I'd really like to see is a common password storage.
It is my opinion that the favicons for a site are very important for recognition (e.g. for completion in the URL bar) for the average user.
Favicons are not necessarily tiny actually. Konqueror has the feature (that I like very much) to set the favicon as the application icon. That has the nice effect that in your pager (the virtual desktop manager in the ) the window area is filled with the favicon. Very nice for switching desktops to the right browser window.
Thirdly, I use http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/27548 It helped me to completely block out that google changed their favicon to an ugly one I can't associate with their website and I can live in my tiny world where they didn't.
That would be admitting that these exist. And giving windows users that do not know there is something other than windows something to Google. That *is* risky...
Light is way more effective (and cheaper) than surveillance cameras. The real issue about the light pollution is that most street lights are old and are positioned wrong. They should target the floor, and the light should not spread in every direction (which is useless anyway). Better street lights would both reduce costs and light pollution. However, it is extremely costly to replace all the street lights in a city.
Also, Open Source shines through constant progress in bug fixing and adding feature, community support. It is seldom that there is a abrupt change within such a short time as a year.;-)
Slashdot Mirror
Impossible for performance reasons, keyword: caching. A balance has been found.
Did you test this on mice or on humans. How many died? Someone think of the children!!1

How many service packs will this beta need?
You should have seen the firehose. pure panic and helplessness was coming out of it...
Maybe they changed the system from blacklisting to whitelisting. Every webmaster now has to prove that their site is not malware ;-)
Also, the sites
www.stopbadware.org/
and
www.google.at/support/bin/answer.py?answer=45449&topic=360&hl=de&sa=X&oi=malwarewarninglink&resnum=1&ct=help
were slashdotted before this was even on slashdot ...

But hey, the music is nice. It seems the Debian installer got better ;-)
Hey how do get my pointless blog entries on slashdot?
Anything that can be censored is ALREADY information.
Pictures deemed inappropriate don't contain information and weren't blocked for the information they are carrying. (e.g. Virgin killer)
Interesting.
They say:
dd if=/dev/urandom bs=200 count=1 | tr -cd 'A-Za-z0-9!@#$%^&*()_+'; echo
Don't use that, I use that as a password already!
