Comment Not a constitutional argument. (Score 1) 452

I think you are missing a key point. The fifth amendment doesn't talk about what un-accused people can or cannot do. This means that if another law forcing them to testify exists, it is completely legal because it doesn't conflict with the fifth amendment, so it will stand until a new law is passed to change it. Oddness of it aside, the accused fifth amendment, and what you refer to are legally, in no way related

Comment I reply to spam. (Score 1) 268

I have an email account that has been riddled with lotteries and messages about my dead [some relation]'s estate. So one day when I was bored at work I started replying to them. It's lots of fun, but they always have trouble using the fake details I give them, who knew? I think they caught on though, or I'm just unlucky cause I haven't won the international lottery in months.

Comment Not about the language (Score 1) 214

I think everyone is putting too much emphasis on what language to use. No matter which one you pick the students will never think you were trying to make things easier for them. Instead I would suggest looking for local High School Programming Competitions http://www.engin.umd.umich.edu/contest/ Pick a language to match a local competition, Telling everyone that the top 3 students from each class, or however you want to do it gets to compete for $500 dollars will do a lot more for learning then picking an easy language.

You can also send them an email very clearly stating that you are not in the business of selling domain names. If you are seriously considering selling it invite them to call you in person to "discuss options". Make sure that they are not recording the phone call and you will be able to talk business with no record of what exactly was discussed. Finally make sure they send you an agreement to buy the domain that specifically prevents them from suing you for squatting, and depending on what they are offering you should consider getting a contract lawyer to look at it. I would also ask that they forward your mail for 10 years or something like that.
