Why are sine waves considered "pure" tones? Why do we consider sinusoids the building blocks of periodic functions?

I get to perform this as part of my set at
Blip Festival in NYC next week - essentially the Woodstock of chiptunes / 8-bit / video game music.
This was written out of intense affection for my EVE Online playing nerd girl (a soft orchestral arrangement of it is going to be our wedding processional, awww) and was released on
8bitpeoples' 8BP050 compilation CD. I've spruced it up with some orchestration for the show. Come rock with me if you're local -- I'd love to meet my fellow mefimusicians and introduce more people to the chiptune scene. It's pure love and fun.

A while ago, there was a useful website that would provide online/offline statistics for all your AIM buddies, so you could see when they were on most frequently. It had interesting graphs it could make as well. Does anyone know if this or another similar web app is still around?

I am deeply interested in education - not teaching, but in student life and welfare, as well as alternative/non-traditional education. How do I learn more about those issues? Which people are prominent in the field? What resources do I have?

A rough structural demo of one of the songs I've written this month.
Catchy, upbeat reflection on the simpler, softer times of my highschool
musical upbringing. Imagine this with a dozen people clapping and
singing along. And maybe an awesome guitar solo. I've still got three
weeks, after all.

When I was a kid, sometimes I would take a word (any word) and repeat it over and over in my head. After a few repetitions, the word would lose all meaning and sound strange and goofy, like it was a completely foreign word to me. Thing is, this doesn't happen anymore. I can repeat the word for hours and it just remains the original word. Has something happened to my brain?

I just got a new Macbook with Parallels and Windows XP pre-installed. I knew of someone who utilized the accelerometer to be able to flip between OSX and Windows by a slap of the side of the screen. How can I set this up on my MacBook?

Will I be at any disadvantage if I buy the most basic of the Macbooks? What would I NOT be able to do that I might have to do? This would be my first laptop, I'm on a limited budget (less than $1300), and I live both inside and outside the United States, so I have a few (sub-)questions.
