Turtle Beach Ear Force AK-R8 and the older HPA2 version - Pros and Cons

This review is from the point of view of a PC gamer. Games are my primary avenue of entertainment; I don't watch TV, though I do listen to music and watch the occasional DVD on my PC with these headphones.

Circumventing Network Filters Or Internet Censorship Using Simple Methods, VPNs, And Proxies
Internet censorship is the control of, or the suppression of information on the Internet.
It is most commonly achieved by blocking a user’s access to specific resources. The filtering of available information and resources can be based on a blacklist or it can be dynamic. In the case of a blacklist, that list is usually not published and may be produced manually or automatically.
Due to the underlying distributed technology that the internet is comprised of the total censorship of information is very difficult if not impossible to achieve. The following article shows many ways, simple and complex, that information may be accessed or transfered using the internet’s distributed nature to bypass information filtering and censorship. In the long run censoring of information only harms the people who it is designed to protect. Many would argue that the censorship is not about protection but control and the enforcement of religious, economic or politically based ideals.
