New Wi-Fi Distance Record Set In Utah
cold_sake writes "Wireless guru Rob Flickenger details the known records for Wi-Fi link distances on his latest blog. Included is a new distance record for an un-amplified Wi-Fi link, set by the students of Utah's Weber State University. 82 miles was accomplished with 802.11b."
Is it just me or does the 'blog' hyperlink to oreillynet.com not work?
Umm, yeah, I pointed out exactly this in This Comment in reply to your comment on the other thread.
The problem is that the church only denounces polygamy for practical reasons: it's illegal.
They still teach that in heaven it is righteous and indeed desirable to have multiple wives, and that the natural order (baring laws of man) is polygamy.
Ask any mormon if they believe in polygamy in heaven, or if polygamy would be reinstated were it not illegal & controversial in our society.
The LDS are great people, but they follow a dogma with a lot of uncomfortable baggage.
The church has greatly toned down the extreme aspects of mormonism (read the church history and accounts by Dr. Michael Quinn)
And I posted saying this was cool in a thread based on the idea.

So is UniSys so until recently WSU wouldn't have been able to create a .gif image of their work (just don't transfer the images outside of the U.S. where the patent still stands for several more months)
YOU'RE WINNER !
Another lame blog
..and the Award for the most annoying advertisement of the year goes to...
seriously did anyone else try clicking the link at the bottom of the article? What the HELL was that?! The stupid ad took up the whole page AND the little X button was a trick! COME ON... the damn thing NEVER went away... it would fade out and just as soon as you move your mouse it faded back in!@#$%!%# If thats what the WWW is coming to, count me out.. I'll just stick to the trollgroups and the HARDCORE IRC!
You're nothing; like me.
Oh that's great. Quote Mormon Doctrine. Sorry bud, but that is not an authoritative work.
As far as a woman being sealed to more than one man, you are technically correct, but actually wrong. Young widows are free to remarry, and though they cannot be "sealed", it is believed that such arrangements will be straightened out after this life.
As for myself, I find this doubly amusing, because you are overlooking the fact that it is possible for a sealing to be cancelled (most common equivalent would be annullment in Catholic doctrine). I know this because my wife was previously sealed to a loser husband. She had this sealing cancelled, and we are now sealed. I suppose that under the right conditions, a young widow could have her sealing to her first husband cancelled if she wanted (though I am not certain).
I have known many men who have married young widows, without being sealed. They do so under the belief that it will all be straightened out later.
As for "Mormon Doctrine", again, it is not considered authoritative, though some inside the church make the mistake of using it that way--and it annoys me to no end. Bruce R. McKonkie (sp?) was a very intelligent man, but he was not commissioned by the church to write that book, nor has it ever been officially sanctioned. Compare that to, say Jesus the Christ, by James E. Talmage, and you will find quite a difference in how it is handled. Church leaders rarely, if ever, quote McKonkie on doctrine. Talmage's work, however, is frequently quoted (and is was commissioned by the Church president at the time).
I hate to tell you, but I've heard all the arguments against the church (numerous times). Yes, polygamy is a difficult spot, since as you say a man may be sealed to multiple wives, but not at the same time. A man may not, at this time, be sealed to more than one living woman. Period. If she is dead, then what do you care?
If you aren't a believer, then our doctrine of sealing and eternal families shouldn't bother you, since you don't believe that anyone is married to anyone after death. The LDS church is the ONLY church that teaches the doctrine of continued marriage after death. Personally, I find the idea to be very wonderful. I love my wife, and to be able to spend eternity with her would be a blessing beyond measure.
As a side note, don't post AC, even on these topics. It really hampers responsibility. I try to avoid it at all costs, even when it means saying something that might hurt me, or cause me to be labeled as a troll.

Can't remember the last time, but it does happen. It's just not something that I worry about.
