What good did it all do?

Instead of talking about all the problems his (Prince Harry's) deployment did in Afghanistan, I'll start with what good it did.

None.

Royalty doesn't belong in the army.
they're supposed to be behind the front lines, doing what the crown does best. Diplomacy.

Now to start with all that went wrong. Sending the, third in line to the crown was the biggest failures of royal guard as it attracted unwanted attention in a section of the world, where that attention can get men killed.

The Globe talks about how Prince Harry was nicknamed a bullet-magnet by the other soldiers and well that's true. Having a high profile figure in Afghanistan amidst all the fighting and death is like asking the enemy to take out more of your soldiers and well that in itself further downs the morale of the already tired and depleted forces. Plus the military allocations have to be increased in his area for his safety, cause he is after all royalty.

Also the interviews and constant media coverage surrounding the good Prince, takes away the seriousness of the situation and makes the soldiers feel like their all in a show.
If Harry wants to show patriotism, well there are other ways a 'Prince' can, by trying to help smaller NGO's or doing his part to solve smaller problems in the economy.

The Bottom line here is that deploying a Prince or any member of any royal family to war torn country causes more problems than it solves.

Well at least he's ok...

Like a pie on a window sil

Wifi internet is everywhere, in your homes, in your schools, in the coffee shop across the corner and well now even city-wide. most times its free and well sometimes you need a subscription but the fact of the matter is, that you know its there.
Just like any other service, there are people that will abuse and take advantage of the paid subscriptions and well that's what Bruce Schneier talks about in his article Steal This Wi-Fi
yet he's on the side of criminals.

it is Crime, and i'm going to call them criminals.

you cant justify providing "free" wifi to the neighbourhood, because you're inevitably paying for it and nothing is secure on your network.
Bruce is just trying to show that people arn't all that bad and that the chances of someone stealing his information and performing all kinds of illegal activities on his network are slim
but the truth is he can't be sure.

well sure some people might just use it for browsing and checking their emails, but how can he ever be safe with using his credit card or putting in any personal information online with a open and un passworded wifi stream.

The only way he can win this argument is if he's selfless and well gets another wired internet connection for himself and then keeps the current wifi internet connection for everyone else.
Now thats a intelligent public service.

heres for all you people that are now paranoid and need to secure your wifi!
