maybe you should try using natural language... "USB drive windows 98" returns 10 useful hits (only 2 of which are even remotely commercial). The problem is, no one actually refers to usb drives as "mass Storage"
Have you ever been to New Orleans? It's a great city - not like any other city I have been in.
I think your reasoning is flawed. By your way of thinking, one should not live or place any item of importance on/in: the coast of any continent any major city along national borders along fault lines
or anywhere near any of these places.
We are human and we make choices that are sometimes not the most logical, but are based on other more intanglible things.
I think the flaw in your post can be summed up in this quote: "Why do people keep... museums with important artifacts in large cities...?" Because people want to look at them and major cities are where the people are! What good would they do you if they were hermetically sealed in a vault in a mountain somewhere?
Follow the logic: 1. you post on slashdot 2. your computer must be important to you 3. you must know something about computer security 4. there is only one way to guarantee your computer will never be compromised... Don't put it on the net so, therefore, why is your computer on the net? Because you want to get on the internet, and the risks are overshadowed by the benefits of the internet. Same with new orleans, california, etc.
