StatusBars - multiple status bars for Firefox

StatusBars
Are you a Firefox extension junkie? Us too. Most of the extensions we have installed put useful information in the status bar, which is great, but causes quite a bit of clutter. Worse, when we need to launch a child browser window (like we have to all the time to write these Download Squad posts), those child windows are also populated with all of the status bar gunk that comes from our extensions.

What to do?

Well, most people would recommend paring down on our number of installed Firefox extensions. But we're not most people. Instead we went looking for a utility that will let us manage our status bar by creating multiple versions of the status bar, then mixing and matching which items would be visible in each one. Hello, StatusBars.

Now you might think that solving the problem of having too many extensions installed by adding yet another extension is unwise, and you're probably right. But hey, this is our machine, and we'll clutter it up as we please. Eyes on your own browser, mister.

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.
