I don't mind the separate definitions but did they really have to pick such ridiculous names for the binary units? Who the fuck wants to say "mebibyte"?
Isaac Davis
Is that why its like 8192MB?
That extra 192MB always gives me a really warm feelerino

Windows is the only modern operating system that still uses the old definitions (1024 MB per GB instead of 1000 MB per GB).

You just say "meg" / "gig" / "T" / "P" and people know by context / they're close enough that it doesn't matter. You only really need to be specific in writing.
Obviously not an excuse, but practically speaking it doesn't really matter.

1024 is 1 x 2^10
1000 is 1 x 2^9 + 1 x 2^8 + 1 x 2^7 + 1 x 2^6 + 1 x 2^5 + 1 x 2^3
Inb4 "metric is base 10!" because it's a fucking COMPUTER unit and COMPUTERS count it in base 2. Making the unit base 10 means converting it back and forth needlessly. Why? to benefit the hard drive industry so it can make its drives sound a little bit larger than they really are.
It's a complete failure of ethics and logic on the part of the involved organizations.
