Please check out Peek-a-booty . It is a spin off from Hacktivismo and The Cult of the Dead Cow. They are writing a program that allows you to surf uncensored. You run a client on your pc that connects to a peek-a-booty node and then you surf the web using that other computer's uncensored net connection. Its kinda like anonymisers, vpns and ssh tunnels. It is also like distibuted.net, SETI@home and Gnutella in that it requires many people to give up thier computing resources.

The linked page also has a webpage (php) that will let you use google off of their server. Have fun.

booyah.

and speaking of names, i have become the bestower of english names in my office. so far Conrad (closest to Comrade that I could get); Arwen and Galadriel. I am hoping to name the tech guy Gandalf cause he gets stuff done.

ta ta from china.
