Big Huge Objects and WCF

I had to send a big object across the wire- An collection containing 31,000 objects each with their own complex object graph (don't ask) and I was really running into problems with WCF crapping out on the call.

I did all the obvious stuff to the server web.config...

                 maxBufferSize="2147483647"
                 maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" 
                 maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647" 

But it still wasn't working.
Luckily I had a few awesome friends come to my rescue: D'Arcy Lussier and Jason Klassen sent me the following- I am posting it here for others. (And so I can find this again later).

    One :%s command replaces every match in a file before a find dialog would even open. The Vim substitute patterns worth the muscle memory: flags, ranges, capture groups, and multi-file edits.
