lol wiZd0m I'm well aware of the differences in calculations and also the fact that they were inappropriately named in the first place but the words are unique to computers I just don't see the point in changing them.
Like I keep pointing out the creators of the words gave them a numerical value and I don't think anybody has any right to change the value of a unique word.
This debate will continue to exist for many years to come and cause even more confusion.
Not only that but I don't see how any of this is going to help the newbie get a grasp of the relationship between hardware and software.
I bet you would be VERY pissed if you went to buy 128 meg of ram and it displayed as 128,000,000,000 (add or remove zeros until correct) bytes on your computer.
the IEEE Standards Board can piss off I'm with ^R3K^ they have no right to change the values of the creators.
shit I feel old toay
