OMG
Al Qaeda now knows that their passwords are **************!
Also, what a disaster - their Steam handles have now been compromised!
The UK's Ministry of Defence was obliged to reset user names and passwords following the publication of pictures of the Duke of Cambridge at work on a military base. Four of the 10 pictures, released by St James's Palace, showed Prince William at work at RAF Valley but failed to blur or disguise sensitive information in …
"Restricted" is the lowest level of classification, and it is as much a reminder that you don't talk about things as a protection of anything important. Those passwords for outside sites such as the FAA don't reveal secrets but you shouldn't be revealing any passwords, None of us should.
If anyone deserves the quiet word, it's the photographer, who I see was RAF and should have known better.
> More on the story, complete with more pictures, can be found in a Daily Mail article here.
Daily Mail!!! It must all be lies. Those right wing journalists wouldn't know the truth if it came up and bit them on the ass.
Until the Guardian publishes its version of events it will be impossible for me tell what the truth is.

I can guarentee the passwords would of been starred out as usual and maybe the usernames would of been able to be seen, but unless you have access to one of those machines on camp you wouldnt be able to use the username in the first place. As for the being whisked away from danger, Prince William is in a demanding job flying SAR up at Valley and the way the weather kicks up at the drop of a hat up there then yes it is dangerous. Hovering a helicopter off of the side of a cliff face, oil rig or in the mountains is dangerous enough without having to compensate for swiftly changing weather patterns. After 4 years at Valley trust me I know what Im talking about.
As for his brother, yeah he has been whisked so far away from danger he went to Afghanistan to escape danger. In his Apache attack helicopter he is not a target and will never ever be fired upon!!!! Dumbass
Fail because of idiot comments, Flearider get a clue about what you are talking about, then once you have that clue do everyone a favour, go look for another one!
Indeed, I'm far from being a royalist, but have to say he'll have earned his stripes on this one. Anyone who thinks flying SAR helos up close and personal to mountains and cliffs is not dangerous, is an idiot. Then again I get to see him/them from time to time at close range so perhaps have a better appreciation of the skill involved than the eponymous man in the street.

I think it is still a very good idea to have the person that will be the titular head of the armed services having done some time in them. His career options are pretty limited anyway - it is basically do that or play polo. At least this is useful for his education, and he understands a bit more "on the ground" about some of the crisis that are likely to still be affecting the UK when he does rule.
the mistake was made by the photographer and/or the people releasing the photos. Other than bein the reason the photos were of particular interest to the press, what, exactly, was William's contribution to the 'error'?
Some people are just too too bitter that people other than themselves get a spotlight on them. Seriously!
Military lifecycles aren't quite in tune with the "let's replace it before they have even installed it" speed of commercial software, which is why there is always tension between COTS and military use.
Besides, massive thumbs up for not going to the productivity destroying ribbon yet.
WE'RE UNDER FIRE AND I CANNOT FIND WHERE EVERYTHING IS. HELLO? HELLO? MICROSOFT SUPPORT?

" about the fact they're using Windows XP and Office 2003. End of life, anyone?"
XP goes EOL in April 2014.
Military/Civil Service users can expect to be rolled to Win 7 in about March 2014.
Public consumer EOL's are different from Extended support contracts... Particularly exclusive use of the word "public"... I'm sure they purposefully meant to include public to infer something?
