according to askaroo, referring to the term Mebi:

 

As of 2005 this naming convention has not gained widespread use, but its use is growing.It is strongly supported by many standardization bodies, including IEEE

and CIPM.

 

given that i have been a member of the IEEE, receiving the IEEE Spectrum (membership trade rag) for going on a dozen years now, i'd say i have a good insight into what they've been pushing. the new IEC standard is not one of those things, whether they like it or not. they may officially support it, but i don't hear anybody chanting "Mebi, Gibi, Tibi, RAH!"... nobody i know in the industry uses the terms, either. we are ingrained with 1 MB = 1024 kB. "Mega, Giga and Tera RAH!"

 

and yes, b = bit, B = byte. drives me bonkerdoodles (highly technical term) to hear it used otherwise.

 

taks

comrade taks... just because.

I will be buying this game either tomorrow or Thursday. I'd rather discuss the full version, after all.
