Why a kilobyte is 1000 and not 1024 bytes
(zeta.one)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
that's what it was initially, reporting decimal 'megabytes' for hdd capacity. lawsuits and settlements followed.
the dust settled and what we have now is disclaimers on storage products (from the legal settlements) and they continue to use 'decimal' measurements...
and we also a different set of prefixes for 'binary' units of measurements (standards body trying to address the problem of confusion): kibi, mebi, gibi, tebi, pebi, exbi; which are not widely used yet.. the 'old' ones are for decimal but still commonly used for binary.
