Somebody who was involved with fixation of election results :)

Not that I think he deserves being murdured. Of course not.

But, he was betraying his fellow countrymen by 'pushing to a database'. I dont think he really deserve's that sympathy.

If you've got two guys with AK-47s standing behind you, do you get a choice in the matter? Even if they aren't standing behind, the implication is that they are there when a despot comes to you for an app.

Maybe the early release was civil disobedience.

I know it sounds technical to use such a precise level of designation, but there are very very few AK-47s in circulation. Their production ended in 1959.

As with any domain of knowledge it's best to dither to a lesser degree of precision if you're not an expert. 'Two guys with rifles'.

> Even after six decades the model and its variants remain the most widely used and popular assault rifles in the world because of their durability, low production cost, availability, and ease of use.

Wow. This is the level of discourse you are bringing? Believe it or not, I chose the AK-47 specifically for the visual it brings to mind and the fact that most people recognize it and its distinctive shape. That it may be a cheap Chinese knock off is immaterial.

Maybe s/he was doing the opposite: pushing it now was the most effective way to reveal the corruption, i.e. leaking the secret.

The "Snowden" of Azerbaijan or just a complete incompetent. Fascinating.

Yeah because a low payed govermnt programmer has a huge amount of choice. A dicator ship depends on few people to survive and in general all jobs are somehow connected to goverment. So everybody is more or less helping the goverment.

I would probebly work for the govermnt too, fixing elections or censor data. That for my skill the most efficent thing to do. Would I feel good? No, is it better then starving or doing hard laber? Yes.

So what would you do? Is your does your moral values overpower your will not doing hard laber?

That's your assumption.
