@waclark57: Oh, I completely agree with that. Just everything is working against him. Obviously nobody is stepping up to help the guy and the Chinese government isn't going to be your human rights advocate.

I'd be willing to believe that they didn't know about their tenuous security issues until noting the moron's shared files, since the note doesn't address whether leaving their node open was actually intentional. Willing to bet its secured now.

More than a couple people called the ending to this guy's choose your own adventure. "Bank/Gov hires 50+ angry mob to foreclose on your land. What do you do?"

@DocSeuss:

I like these threads because they open up so much alternative material. Halo has almost always had an exceptional score, so I'll toss some out in thanks.

It was 175 degrees here in AZ yesterday. Much as I love my fireworks, some people just aren't bright enough to keep the state from going up in a giant wall of flame if they had unrestricted access to fireworks.

Fun fact: Free to Play only makes sense if your game isn't good enough to draw repeat audience or simply can't maintain one; ie, anything purchased by Turbine.

I don't think it was ever proven stolen. And it's amazing how one man's inconvenience is another man's devastation. Funny that.

Good thing they hid that valuable netbook in a safe place no criminal would dare to... um.. dare to... uh, yeah.

It's sadly ironic when one is told to 'relax, it's only a phone' when they themselves depend on said product to create their livelihood.

There Is An Evangelion Motorbike.... VROOM!

Um, yeah... Wiki says you can build a far less complicated nuclear weapon called "Little Boy."

WTF is that white lightcycle thing? It looks like some fail electric concept pod car from [insert your automaker here]

@Whooped.D.Dew:

Um, yeah. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare called. They want their mission on rails gimmick back.
