In FreeBSD and Linux, I believe the users directory (say,/home) can be mounted with options that disallow execution of binaries. See the man pages for mounting options.
In windows, go to a directory's properties -> security -> permissions. Then for the user's group (or everyone, or whatever) change the type of access to special file access, uncheck 'execute (X)'. Something like that.
Yes, there "is a loop in there somewhere." There always is. Not necessarily at the application level, though.
As far as old languages go, I know that at least C programs can be written to be event driven.
Not that many cycles are wasted in loops if software uses, say, select (while blocking of course) to wait for some event, or uses an OS call to give up X milliseconds of computing time it doesn't need, or halts the processor until an interrupt occurs (in the case of an OS perhaps).
You make some other good points. As our favourite editor would say, "Interesting read."
Some examples: "You can't modify a constant, float upstream, win an argument with the IRS, or satisfy this compiler" "type in (cast) must be scalar; ANSI 3.3.4; page 39, lines 10-11 (I know you don't care, I'm just trying to annoy you)" "Too many errors on one line (make fewer)"

Linus built musical instruments too? Man that guy can do anything!

Frodo? I have absolutely no idea who this person is. Frodo who? Am I supposed to have heard of him? I'm sorry, but I haven't.
I'm guessing it's because I don't read books. In fact, I don't even own one.
Shouldn't that be:

Try le editor. It is a full screen editor with a blue background (much like the editor that comes with DOS), except way better.
I make caps lock change to ctrl and that's that. Two ctrl keys on the left. I'm never switching back.

Can't remember off the top of my head how to change keys in Linux (it's pretty easy iirc), but here is how to do it in NT/2k/XP:
Add a new key called 'Scancode Map' with binary data as follows:
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 1D 00 3A 00 00 00 00 00
to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr
(Ignore the space in Control inserted by slashdot.)
Search google for more help on NT keybindings.

A wise guy once said "you can't please everybody, so you might as well please yourself."
That reminds me of some funny error messages from an old Apple compiler.
A link.
Some examples:
"You can't modify a constant, float upstream, win an argument with the IRS, or satisfy this compiler"
"type in (cast) must be scalar; ANSI 3.3.4; page 39, lines 10-11 (I know you don't care, I'm just trying to annoy you)"
"Too many errors on one line (make fewer)"
I was bored enough to find the link.
Just use something like "Hey. What's up?" for your trial death message.
Once you know that works, change it to "Hey. What's up? I'm dead."
Being chased by %? Someone should put that in the game...
