Supplied is a real email address that you can contact me at. If you have any questions about anything relating to computers, you can contact me there.
This thread's goal is to provide an answer to some of the most common questions I see posted here every week. If you guys could keep bumping this thread, it would be great, because it would make it less of a hassle to answer people's questions.
Continuing on...

School Blocks/Filters
---------------------------------------------------------------
You can get past most school website blocks/filters using a simple proxy. You could try an HTTP proxy such as www.hidemyass.com, or www.proxy.com
If all of those are blocked, you could always try a true proxy (IP and Port) with FireFox. Here's an entire tutorial on how to find the proxy IP and port, and how to configure it to FireFox:

The Deep Web
---------------------------------------------------------------
The deep web can be accessed through a routing platform known as Tor. Tor can be downloaded from https://www.torproject.org/
You can use Tor as a proxy to browse normal websites too, but I personally find the deep web to be more fun.
For a guide on how to set up and use Tor, check here:

For a list of secret/hidden links you can access using Tor (These links make up the deep web. They have a .onion TLD (Though it's not technically a TLD)) check here:
http://pastebin.com/i7TNvyna
or here:
http://ahmia.fi/
Be warned though, of anything labeled "CP". If you're not already aware, CP stands for "Child Porn". It is recommended that you only view links that say "NO CP".
As a starting place on the Deep Web, you should probably go to the Hidden Wiki. It has a great collection of links and information about the Deep Web and such. If the link to the Hidden Wiki on either of those link lists is down, just Google "hidden wiki tor link" or something like that, to find the latest link. Currently it's been going down fairly often, due to technical troubles.
Now, the deep web is yours to explore.
---------------------------------------------------------------
More topics will be added in the comments or maybe in a v2 or v3 of this thread, whenever the hell I think of what else to add! If you have any questions or comments, email me. If you have suggestions for what I could add, email me or just post.
Enjoy!
