UndeleteMyFiles: Do we really have to tell you what it does?

UndeleteMyFiles
If you guessed that UndeleteMyFiles is a program that hacks into government databases and gives you the secret launch codes for nuclear missiles, you really need to stop watching Cold War era movies. But what you can use this free Windows utility to do is recover some recently deleted files on your computer.

There are several other free programs that do pretty much the same thing. But there are a few features that set UndeleteMyFiles apart. First of all, the program features a nifty preview function. Just hit the check box next to the file you want to see and hit the preview button and the program will restore the file to a temp directory so you can check it out before deciding whether you really want to restore it to your hard disk.

UndeleteMyFiles also has several different modes for scanning your hard disks or removable storage media. For example, you can use the Media Recovery mode to scan a disk just for media files. Or you can use the Deleted File Search to scan for files meeting certain size or file type. The File Rescue wizard, on the other hand will show you all deleted files on a disk.

The program also includes a file wiper, which lets you securely delete files so that they will be nearly impossible to recover. This feature could come in handy if you happen to be in possession of oh, say a nuclear missile launch code that you probably shouldn't have.

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.
