Matt Cutts Callous Comments Threaten To Re-Ignites Long Dormant War
[added]It has come to isos’ attention that certain people have been claiming this post is “tongue-in-cheek” or, as it is sometimes called by the ignorant and truly vile, “satire”.
I can assure you it is nothing of the sort and we fully intend to pursue any means at our disposal that require absolutely no effort to force the people making these claims to retract their statements.
isos is a serious blog committed to outing real issues and keeping the peace in an Internet world gone mad. The big endian / little endian issue is quite clearly THE single biggest issue online today. isos, as the only blog strong enough to stand up to the evil Endian war instigator Matt Cutts, will continue our push to have the offending comments obliterated from the web, in an effort to restore the fragile peace these callous comments have threatened to destroy.
Peace out, in love and Artistic truth [/added]
On his blog today, the clearly homo-sapien Google Engineer Matt Cutts dared do what no one has dared since a truce was announced in late 2002: re-ignite the big-endian bytes / little-endian bytes debate.
After three Internet years of peace (4,587 years in normal time), one can only hope that the two warring factions do not see this as an open invitation to resume the hostilities that threatened to create a schism online with two incompatible branches of the Internet.
isos sincerely hope that disgustingly naive and poorly-timed comments like these do not resurface anytime soon, and that calls for calm on both sides will be heeded.
So SHAME ON YOU MATT CUTTS, for not letting bygones be bygones, and for using the soap box granted to you to cause so much ill will and pain. Shame indeed.
