Yes, your system would be a lot more secure if every time you logged on it did not obscure your password as it was typed in, instead allowing anyone nearby to gain access to your machine as you. That is much more secure.
As I understand it, it is not legal. While the music may be in the public domain, most recordings are not. you can find lots of midis on the web that as long as they're not a recent piece are legal. I seem to remember something about some midis of Holst being pulled from some sites.
Note: a midi is not a recording, can you imagine how many ways the profits on a given classical cd are split?
Um... Lets see... Well, the closest I can come up with is the morphic graphics system in Squeak, although I don't know whether or not it is "leading the field."
I agree, I am a student at OSU, and know the guy who is maintaining the block, and I certainly don't want tuition or net access fees to go up. Gee, I wonder why everyone seems to think that we are paying for the majority of it now... I personally think that $50 for the year is one hell of a deal. Also, Napster is no big deal, we can get mp3 the same way we have for the past few years, ftp, irc, sneakernet.
Well it seems to me that it was marketed more toward even younger kids than the adolescents you are referring to and the overall "feel" of the picture suffered because of it.
Call me old fashioned, but I think that C is probably one of the best languages to learn first because the language itself is very simple unlike perl, it forces you to think about memory management (which IMO is a good thing, if only to gain an understanding of how it works). Books that I have found good for learning are "the C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie, and "Practical C Programming" from O'Reilly.
If Alice interests you, you might want to check out the Squeak implementation, I think it's called Wonderland. Squeak is a free smalltalk-80 (sort of) environment written in smalltalk being developed by Disney, and there is a linux port available from squeak.org. Wonderland comes with the standard image. disclaimer: I have not had a chance to mess around with either the python or squeak implementations so I don't know how they would compare
This is exactly why the US is not a democracy. People have started proving that the founding fathers were right not to trust the judgement of the average person as they have been given more and more power. It's why I never participate in any poles.

That's right except for a few things:
the output would be "21" and "10" if it is passed by reference, not "10.5" (integer division)
C and C++ pass by value by default, and Java passes primitive types (int, double, char) by value, but Objects by reference
Ummm, I wonder how the "APIs" are implemented. Surely they are all written from scratch in machine code.
Um...
