[b]Nem, ez nem parasztvakítás. A telekommunikációban is 1000-rel számolnak. Mégpedig egy 1998 óta érvényben lévő nemzetközi szabályozás óta, ami kimondja, hogy a SI prefixeket (kilo, mega, stb.) egységesen 1000 alapúnak kell tekinteni mindenhol, és a bináris változatoknak némileg módosított nevet adtak.
Using the prefixes kilo-, mega-, giga-, etc., and their symbols k, M, G, etc. (see below for the peculiarities of "K"), in the binary sense can cause serious confusion.
In January 1999, the International Electrotechnical Commission introduced the prefixes kibi-, mebi-, gibi-, etc., and the symbols Ki, Mi, Gi, etc. to specify binary multiples of a quantity. [1]
They have since been officially adopted by many other organizations, most notably the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (see standard IEEE 1541) and the European Union (as harmonization document HD 60027-2:2003-03[2]). However, they have not yet been widely adopted by manufacturers and individuals; many continue to use the SI prefixes in a binary sense, despite the lack of support from official bodies. As a result, there is no unambiguous notation for decimal multiples of bits and bytes.
