It's not actually a flag to the s command. It's a way to modify the address. So, for instance, if you want to delete from the third line to the third to last line in the file, you could run: :1+2,$-2 d 1 is the address

Another approach is to use normal mode to delete a block of text you want. For instance, if you want to delete up to the line before the line that contains "This is a line of text", you could run q: .,/This is a li

I had a 14.4K modem, but the dial-in pool for my ISP only supported 2400 bps speeds. It took me most of the day to download the first C&C demo file which was 10 MB IIRC.

It helps in terms of maintenance. For example, when changing some code, you could look at the commits that arrested the lines of coffee you're going to modify. With well crafted commit messages, you may be able to avoid introducing a r

They are valuable when using git blame to see the line in the context of the change it was part of and the associated commit message. That information could help avoid introducing a regression for example.

Thanks for the recommendation. Could you elaborate on some of the issues this book goes over that factor into this particular crash besides the speed of motorists and the proximity of cyclists and pedestrians?

I remember that it was possible to insert inline images in a plain text email by adding a uuencoded block in the middle of the message. MIME also had inline attachments, but those typically show up at the end of the message.

The phrase "supports bottom posting" isn't the best way to describe formatting replies. Good netiquette typically involves deleting quoted text you're not directly addressing in your reply and type your responses inline.

The fact that carriers are still selling locked phones is really strange. Imagine if Verizon, Comcast, or Cox sold locked Dell or Lenovo laptops at a discount and only allowed you to connect to the internet using their ISP service.
