[olug] Stupid Vim trick

[Nick Walter]

Errr, I really hate to sound ignorant and sound like I don't get the joke .
. . but I don't.

I was under the impression that endianess was a byte-ordering thing, and
that for values like 101010 which can be represented in one byte then
byte-ordering doesn't matter, since there's only one way to represent one
byte.  Someone better educated care to fill me in on how off base I am?

This is funny depending on if you are big-endian or little-endian...
