The issue is that they can't be sold immediately, it seems like. Why not store them under a confidential warehouse until the information is no longer relevant to the war efforts and would have little effect, then release them?
Why don't we just call it what it is: A protection racket. "Those are some nice packets you got there. Would be a shame if something happened, or they didn't make it on time..."
I think the implication is that anti-conservatives are vandalizing Google maps in an attempt to cause people wishing to attend the rally to instead become lost, should they rely on Google maps.
...turn off SSID broadcast and change the SSIDs so students phones/laptops/whatever don't see them anymore, for the most part. Then tell them you turned it all off. Problem solved.
Or better, instead of having a physical effect, have "weapons" have a software effect on the car closest to them, AKA car sends a signal to the closest car that it has been hit and the "hit" car's software decide how to randomly deal with it, be it taking over control and smashing into a wall, slowed speed, etc...
You really believe that they won't just ignore it? The law is only a tool for the rich and powerful to use. It doesn't apply to them. They can kill you for kicks and get away with it.
You do realize all it takes it just one person who doesn't care about the rules to decide to just treat it was a checklist and start murdering everyone on it, right? While I wouldn't have signed an anti-gay petition anyways, this just reaffirms my belief that you should NEVER WRITE YOUR NAME ANYWHERE EVER. all it takes is one crazy to decide to kill someone and if your name is anywhere within their line of sight, it's over. Hell, you could add yourself to a grocery loyalty program and if someone looking vet what you bought doesn't like what he sees, all he has to do is grab a knife, find where you live, and kill you in the dead of night. If you don't need to sign something to survive, DON'T.
Only problem is generally, once harassment starts, it will never stop regardless of what you do. The only way it can change is for the worse, which is does on it's own as a sort of herd mentality (hey, go throw eggs at this guys house, and have your friends help, and their friends). Eventually it'll snowball until you get a real nutball who decides that harassment means Molotov cocktail or bullet in the head, and then it's over. So while I do agree that petition signatures should be public, I can see why the fear these signets are showing is there. Even if they work hard to undo and reverse on what they did, that'll hang over their head forever, and eventually, they might get killed for it. Of course, this danger exist with any petition or public Which is why the best policy is if you can't do something behind a pseudonym or anonymously that people will argue about, doDONT DO IT. You can get killed for it, and the odds are in favor of that happening, so to sign your name on anything that is controversial is tantamount to delayed actual suicide.
And yet, by the time most people notice someone working to destroy them, it's too late. Not being in a permanent state of caution will cause you to miss just one thing. And all it takes is one thing that you missed because you were lax in keeping your guard up to destroy you.
Who's going to slap them down? The government, which takes it's money from the employers? Even worse, what if your employer is the government? You have no recourse. Which is why you keep your head down and mouth shut at all times.
My company pays me from 9 to 5 and that does NOT give them the right to invade my live the rest of the time. In return, I will not meddle with their buissness outside office times. What happens at the office, stays at the office, and what happens outside, happens outside. Thats a matter of basic decency.
Do you have money? Do you have political power? If the answer to these is no, or less than your employer, than the employer could do whatever they want to you. The only thing stopping them from doing so is cost, in lawyers or in search teams. If they want you to stop eating anything hard enough, and have the money to force it, they can do it. It's not about rights. It's about power. And you don't have it, you never will, because power only transfers between those who already have it. This is our world, you must learn to adapt or your chances of survival are slim.
Freedom of speech is an illusion anyways. If someone thinks they can save a buck, or extract more money, they can shut you up, even the government, because they have the power. The chances of someone coming to defend you are beyond slim to none. The chances of becoming a rotting corpse in prison because someone didn't like what you said outside and they stuck you with a murderer with a lust for blood is far higher, and that gets them more money. And it's all legal, after all, common citizens don't have power. In this world, might makes right.
And in the long run, if you don't assume everyone is out to get you, that will also destroy you, as you are guaranteed to have at least one or more persons attempt to destroy you. Those who assume it will happen may wind up making it out alive. Those who don't end up homeless, broken, and very quickly, dead. Your move.
In this economy, you can't risk losing your job. Hell, if they had refused, they might have never gotten another job ever again, and in the US, that's tantamount to suicide as the homeless have a very very short lifespan. Was it morally right? No. Would it have been career suicide to disagree? Yes, and in this economy, very likely delayed physical suicide as well.
Why is it that every time a cop misbehaves and gets called out for it, other cops crawl out of the woodwork and start defending his actions? Do you think that carrying a star makes you immune to laws? Are you one of those policemen who help corrupt cops who conduct crimes avoid justice?
Because people who are supposed to be beacons of trust and the like don't particularly like that they're still human and not always above bad behavior. It's a sense that if one is shamed, everyone is shamed, most likely. If you were part of a close knit group and one of them was called out for something, and it made everyone look bad in the group, you'd probably do the same thing. While the logical response would be to excise them from the group, most tight groups try to cover each other, in many places of life, not just the police force. Granted, some ARE corrupt and want to hide it, but much of the time, it's likely a "Not MY buddy!" situation, much like parents will go "Not MY child!" when shown the horrors they can and have inflicted. Cops are still human, prone to mistakes, the horrors, abuses, and even the good that humans are known for. You will get a few bad ones like any samplings of people, and perhaps more due to the power being an officer promises, but at the end of the day, to put it another way, even they bleed if they are cut.
To be fair, once they find out, it's usually a thing where if they tell, it's blacklisting for life from any company, if you don't conveniently "disappear". Just look at the news. So not continuing to follow orders could put you on the streets, homeless forever, or worse. No matter what you do at that point, your life is already in jeopardy, perhaps physically.
The difference is that an average layman can perform video recording and uploading without causing harm a good deal, if not most of the time. Brain surgery, not so much.

I don't think either would be a wise choice if you're looking for a swift anything.

Obviously, the question is a True or False, and should be marked as such by anyone solving the equation until the teacher gets where they messed up.

Your move.
Why would you be hooking up a GoogleTV to an iPhone OS device anyways?
All except the original iPhone though.
Don't forget "bye, enjoy field blacklisting and the very short remaining life you'll have as a homeless person"

The world has some assholes in it. They are mean to people for no good reason.
Altho for some reason we put up with them and work around them instead of throwing them down a deep dark hole and moving on.
Actually, we give them jobs as CEOs, managers, politicians and the like.
