In servers, & is used to determine how text is written. In singleplayer, it's the section symbol. The section symbol isn't on most keyboards, therefore Mojang should change it to what most players are used to: &.
(this doesn't really affect now, it's mostly meant for written books in the new snapshots)

I'm just a Minecraft player that likes to give my opinion. Nothing special to see here.
Really? I didn't know you could use & on Multiplayer, thanks, I just learned something And do you know what the ALT code is for the SS symbol if you don't have it in the keyboard? Like how ALT + 0176 = °? Thanks!
Section sign used to be used on smp as well, but mojang made it an illegal chat character when they released the format codes(lmn and o)
using &(code) is an essentials permission.
Not all servers give defaults access to colors.
Before on our server, we ould give $5 donators colors, but swedish people who didn't donate used Shift+3 to type the section/color sign, then a 0-9 a-f and it would do colors, now it just kicks them :3
The Section sign is used for coding etc to make colors. Check the splash screen text file where it says colormatic.

Yes it will, if it can't connect to the internet, it just goes offline, as normal single player.
The server folder/file was removed in the last snapshot, as they are working on further merging ssp and smp.
This is all to help the modding community.
It isn't like someone knows your password, they connect to your single player and grief you.
You have to allow access through your firewall, port forward, and if your still paranoid, whitelist, you have to allow them for them to join.

Instead of switching § to &, wouldn't be easier to add buttons or something to the GUI to make text colored, bold, etc? You could even use HTML style to do it with THIS TEXT IS BOLD or similar. Using the & symbol creates problems because people might use & to mean And, which is what & is meant to do. § is only commonly used in legal documents and SimCity, so it makes a good symbol for formatting purposes.
Also, most people can type § by holding shift and control then typing u 0 0 a 7
It doesn't work in minecraft, but when writing books you can write it in MS Word or something and copy it into your book in minecraft.
