A few gems:
| Quote: | | Our data seemed to have been stolen, and the culprit? Why it was binary, dear reader. |
| Quote: | | After a little bit of research we realized that while hard drive manufacturers universally describe storage capacity in powers of 10, Windows 7 still measures data in powers of 2. |
| Quote: | | Since the closest you can get to 1,000 in exponential binary is 1,024 (2^10), every Windows 7 gigabyte (1,000MB) is actually 1,024MB. |
| Quote: | | Much as America holds to an outdated imperial measurement system, Windows still clings to a binary counting convention in the face of a metric majority. |
