Flexcrypt Folder: Free file or folder encryption for Windows

FlexcryptHave some files on your PC that you'd rather not have your roommate looking at? Want to send some top secret government documents over email without the risk of someone intercepting your email and reading your files? Flexcrypt Folder is a free encryption utility for Windows that can password protect any group of files for you.

Once you've installed Flexcrypt Folder, all you have to do is highlight a file, folder, or group of files that you want to encrypt and right click on them to bring up the context menu. Select Encrypt using FlexCrypt Folder, enter a password, and you're all set. The program will create a self extracting archive that can only be opened with the correct password.

In other words, you can send the file to anybody you want, and they don't need to install anything on their computer to extract the contents. They just need the correct password.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
