In a partially related topic, I will be instigating the cutting off of
the nads of anyone who uses the acronyms GiB, MiB, KiB or anything
else.
The entire computing industry got on quite well knowing what GB, MB, KB
et al meant until some hard drive marketoid decided that using factors
of 1000 made their drive sizes look bigger.
I won't stand for it, and really you shouldn't too. While they've
attempted to woo you with chances to be pedants, they have taken away
your computing heritage.
Claim it back!
