Blackmail ? It's amusing, with Clinton as a candidate. But if they have something REALLY damaging, imagine what PRESIDENT Clinton would do to keep it from the public eye.
Of course, then she'd have the problem of Danegeld. . .
. . ..because I was on a team that made software to do just that.
In 2000.
It was a plug-in to standard shipping systems, that printed labels, generated paperwork, and specified packaging, based on the MSDS of the chemical, the size and type of the container, method of transport, and destination. . . .
And we were not the only solution in the market. . .
Friend, WORD-OF-MOUTH beats Monster. All I ever get from my long-inactive Monster profile is come-ons from Insurance Companies who tell me I need a career change. . . .
Not that recruiters actually READ your profile, they scan for keywords and spam you a job req based on those keywords. That's why I constantly get pings about Java Developer jobs, and SQL DBA jobs, despite my profile showing quite clearly I'm a Security Geek. . .
A landlord may reject you for poor credit history, income that a reasonable businessperson would deem insufficient to pay the rent, negative references from a previous landlord or employer, a criminal conviction, or a prior eviction lawsuit (even one that you won). As long as they don’t discriminate, landlords can basically choose whomever they want. For example, a landlord can refuse to rent to smokers or disallow pets because smokers (and pet owners) as a group are not protected by antidiscrimination laws. If your landlord’s policy is no pets, no smoking, or some other legitimate lease or rental agreement term, you’re out of luck unless you can make some convincing arguments for your case.
And yet "Tempest" computing has been dead since the mid-90s. The shielding required, at least on the old model of RF emination protection, would make a handheld phone impossible.
Really. Although, more and more, I'm thinking Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Oracle, and all the rest, have started using "50 Shades of Grey" as the basis of their management philosophy. . .

I'm 54, and haven't relied on Television for news in well over a decade.
Social media ? Not so much. Although I do use it as a bird-dogging tool. . . ."crowd-searching" the news, and then checking a few other sources.
Lately, the noise-to-signal ratio on social media, and Fecesbook and Twatter, respectively, has approached 99%. . . .

. . . .they already have all they need on Clinton, from her email server. . . .
The fact that they're looking for dirt on Trump, suggests that they think he might well be elected. . .
You meant "Literal KGB espionage".
One: Everyone and his brother have apparently hacked the clintonemail.com server, and,
Two: The KGB hasn't existed for 21 years. It's been the FSB since 1995. . .
Mind you, that chance is close to zero if she is not indicted. And, as noted, she could kill children on live TV, and still waltz to the nomination.
Which is why I, increasingly, support the Sweet Meteor of Death for 2016.
Just end it, already. . . .

Certain classes of businesses that can be forced to "provide to all" have a name.
"Public Utilities".
In such cases, they generally are the only provider of that particular good or service.
If there are multiple providers, market forces will tend to eliminate those that refuse to provide to all paying customers. . .
. . .And providing a service does not count as consideration ? Interesting. . .
Note, please, that Social Media are not among the allowable categories. . . at least in .us
The issue here, is one of Fair Housing Laws. Can't speak to .uk. but in the US:
The Federal Fair Housing Acts (42 U.S. Code 3601-3619) prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, familial status (having children), and physical or mental disability (including alcoholism and past drug addiction). In addition, many states and cities also prohibit discrimination based on marital status, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
A landlord may reject you for poor credit history, income that a reasonable businessperson would deem insufficient to pay the rent, negative references from a previous landlord or employer, a criminal conviction, or a prior eviction lawsuit (even one that you won). As long as they don’t discriminate, landlords can basically choose whomever they want. For example, a landlord can refuse to rent to smokers or disallow pets because smokers (and pet owners) as a group are not protected by antidiscrimination laws.

One of them should be Dominium (Do) so that we can make a Mc-Do-N-Al-Ds.
And if you get the combo, you ALSO get Francium, Iodine, and Einsteinium. . . .
Probably because I read it on New Scientist, yesterday. And really, The Verge as a science source ??
how cute, you think this has to do with science.
Naming rights are a reflection of power and prestige.
So. . . Element Privilege ??? /boggle
. . . .otherwise, one of the newly named elements would be. . .
"Elementy McElementface"
(grin)
. . . .they want a Kill Switch for a prospective AI. . . made of SOFTWARE ???
A simple routing of all power and data through a certain point, and a physical switch at that point, should fix the problem.
No need. The page no longer seems to exist, or didn't last night. . .

This phone will garner interest of high-roller criminals.
. . . which may be the point. Consider it trolling of the criminal class. . .
I've seen weirder ideas implemented. . . .
"Microsoft: Where '50 Shades of Grey' is not Surburban Wife Porn, but a Management Philosophy . . . "
(evil grin)
"There are entirely too many motherf*cking snakes on this motherf*cking blame. . . ."
Sorry, just not Metal enough (grin)
