  I’m travelling to SF later this year as a tourist (I’m not an American, I’m from the Philippines), should I expect that the TSA will want me to unlock my devices?

• Reply to a comment by [deleted] on 'The Internet Archive (archive.org) teams up with BitTorrent, starts seeding 1million torrents ' on /r/technology:

  When people download something using the bittorrent protocol, there needs to be one or more “seeds”. These are computers that are providing the material to be downloaded. When one is “seeding torrents” it means they’re making available the contents of that torrent for download by others. If there’s no one seeding, the contents can’t be downloaded.

"Sooner or later, the people who still believe they can hit the moles with their slow mallets might realize that their time would be better spent playing an entirely different game."' on /r/technology:

  Piracy doesn’t let you own the games either. Valve still owns Half-Life even if you pirate it.
