Yep that is very right. I use KB for 1024, but yes one should not make a difference between kB and KB, because the origin to describe memory of a computer is clearly emerged (? hope I hit the right word) 2^x.
Ehe, "decimal bytes", very good expression...maybe worth to make a copy right on it!?
Maybe one can invent a wiki page for this

I'm using KiB (or 1024), now. In some pieces of code there's no place for misunderstanding.

I'm old fashioned, there's not much misunderstanding with KB to me. Granted I was slow to accept C#, I may have to die to accept KiB.

Because you were doing it differently from anyone else, which was OK back when we kept you in that hole, but times have changed and we have to pull you into the light from time to time.
You geek, you!
Problem ist with e.g. Mega. Because mB would be millibyte, and MB is reserved for 106
So you, you could have your kilo, but still would have your mebi.
... and the wisdom to know the difference.

Never even heard of millibyte until now. I would've assumed mB is a decimal megabyte just like kilo. Apparently not.

Well, of course, since millibyte is virtually never a *useful* thing to have (just like Gigafarad).
But using it there (just like the colloquial k=1000 vs. K=1024) just wouldn't work.
I dislike them, too - but I understand the necessity.

Wow. I wonder if she used infrared film for a couple of those -- the leaves on the tree remind me of how flowers light up in the IR spectrum.

Filters and/or postprocessing?
According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.

Not far from here, on the way to Niagara is an old and beautiful Sugar Maple (the Comfort Maple). It is claimed to be the oldest at 530 years (there is some dispute), but it's certainly the largest. It has a girth of over 20' (about half of the Majesty tree pictured), and a height and spread of about 90'.
Whatever anyone's thoughts on spirituality are, there's an undoubted calm about standing next to this giant. Sitting with my back to it, I feel the tensions and stresses of life just drain away.
In Fall it can be spectacular, a crimson monster!

I went to Sequoia National Park back in the mid 80s and walking among the giants awed and humbled me. There was a calmness and tranquility in the air that is hard to describe!

Why do the other designs seem to work better/proliferate more?

What's the worst thing you have ever spent a wad of cash on?
January tax return is looming, that's pretty bad. That day Camden Council towed my car away wasn't good. Root canal fillings are well up there...

Given Griff's history of comments, I'm pretty sure she's not a member. Also, she'd have to know it was him, although he has probably posted enough evidence over the years to leave little doubt!

I'm in the lucky position that she is not that computer literate: she hasn't powered up her PC in about two years, and I redirected all her email to my address after her friends complained she never read her mail.
Plus, she is so worried about "breaking my computer" that she won't even dust the mouse!
