    not to mention, I don't think you can do something like: :.,+10!sed -e 's:one:another:' | fmt

    the string 'one' with 'another' and reformat using linebreaks.

    I only say it this harshly, because I've been there myself. only.. not with vi. I saw the power in that immediately,

    This is a common way of getting advanced features out in 'beta' without slowing down a whole release -
    it allows users to experiment with the feature without expecting full support or without having to manually install
    the new feature itself - if you don't want to risk stability, don't use it.

    Similary - there are at least 2x similar 'experimental' technologies in RHEL6, which is used by many thousands of companies
    on mission critical systems:

    - Linux Containers are a Technology Preview.
    - Btrfs is not a production quality file system at this point.
        With Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 it is at a tech preview stage and as such is only being built for Intel 64 and AMD64.

    and I'm sure other OS'es have similar methods of getting new technologies for customers to try on stable releases.

    And if the core tenets of believing in the FSM is that you *should* murder people for pasta sauce meatballs, it's no problem for the beliver as long as he/she doesn't do it? I believe in their right to believe that as well, but I wouldn't
    wish it for them, would you?

    And no - you cannot do this with the christian bible. the christian bible is specifically the new testament, which outlines the method and means with which to properly interpret those incitements you speak of. Find me the passage in the gospels or the epistles where Jesus commands his disciples or a disciple commmands other christians to rape and murder, and that following the mosaic law to the letter is the 'correct path', rather than 'righteous application' of the spirit of the law.

    Incorrect application of the old testament yes, but this very clearly is *not* provided for *at all* in the concrete texts
    of the new testament.

    The islamic holy book proscribes these types of things directly, and was directly penned by muhammed, who himself is absolutely, consistently, without fail, honored as the 'final prophet of god' in islam.

    just because they are religions, does not mean they are theologically the same.

    I do agree that many many muslims are far better people than I.

    It does not mean that their faith is not founded on clearly and directly defined abhorrent theological falsehoods.
