Hi,

the simplest would be:

randpoints =
   Table[Graphics[{PointSize[
       0.012], (x = {Random[Real, {-0.6, 0.6}],
         Random[Real, {0.0, -0.6}]};
       If[Sqrt[x.x] < 0.6, Point[x], {}])}], {300}];
Show[surface, halfcir, randpoints, AspectRatio -> Automatic]

but there are specific methods to generate random numbers in a circle.

Regards
   Jens
