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.

pornjacker, over time, everyone will adapt to it. Rigorous documents will use the standard and it's already taking place.

See the FS representation.

New programming books will use the standard, and overtime, only those of that era will remember this.

My father learned to count in inches and yards, I learned in centimeter and meters.

Times change.

We just need to start using it, and it's quite funny when you go to the store and ask for a Dimm of 1 Gibibyte of ram and things like that. http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/wink.gif

My very final post on this matter, I wonder what the IEEE Standards Board will rename E=mc² to because its not actually an accurate equation for energy.

Yeah, I was on the phone with James and I don't know how we deviated from our initial discussion to start aguing about proper data labels.

So I asked him how much money he was willing to put on the table to back up his claims. (Although it's unfair cuz I knew what the standard was.)

ahh hell, they are all run by proxy corps, who are ran by the NSA who are acting proxys of aliens!!!

HAHA, I Cant Remember Either, LOL. Im Trying My Damnest To Remember Too.

I remember, it's those estonian e-mails Marie got were too funny.

No Doubt, Im Still Laughing My Ass Off
