If we go this whole dev cycle without a present day preview that shows me Bella is fine, I will "randomly" kill one of you :mad:
Well if you must, you must, but just in case you "randomly" choose me for this dubious honour I will tell you that there is a reason why your worst nightmares are afraid of me.

Nope. I just made the math with the calculator:

18,600,000,000 / ( 1024 * 1024 * 1024) ≃ 17.3

So we can say 18.6 GB = 17.3 GiB



That's because those fancy terms "Kibibyte (KiB), Mebibyte (MiB) und Gibibyte (GiB)" DIDN'T EXIST (not even in IT) BEFORE THE LATE NINETIES! :HideThePain:

So older folks like me keeps using what we were taught in the eighties: 1 GB = 1 GIGABYTE = 2^30 Bytes = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 Bytes.

----

The damn technical committees can’t just go around changing the definition of a unit of measurement and expect the whole world to fall in line immediately.

It’s obvious that someone who studied in the ’80s, when a Gigabyte was defined as 2^30 bytes and that weird/pretentious name “gibibyte” didn’t even exist, and who hasn’t subscribed to the ISO or IEEE fanzine… will keep using the old definition.

ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WINDOWS STILL USES kB, MB, AND GB — NOT “KiB, MiB, GiB” — to mean 2^10, 2^20, 2^30… JUST AS WAS STANDARD IN IT IN THE ’80s AND EARLY ’90s.

---

’s a clear historical timeline about the change in the definition of gigabyte (GB) and the creation of the neologism gibibyte (GiB).

Not bad. I just did it in my head(in the midle of the night ;-) ) and thought it is a bit to much.
But if you did the math you are the one correct here. :)

In my "old days" we learned that a GB is 1024 MB and it was in the late 90s.
And for a funny story, my teacher in that class stated that TB is 1024GB but we don´t have to learn that unit. TB are only for "NASA and so one".
"We" will never have that big of HDD´s
20 years later its a funny one.

I got the Therms “KiB, MiB, GiB” long later in the IT a few years ago.

Thanks for the overview. I didnt know they did that in .12.98.

There already a big boob teacher to fuck, Nora better off not being able to fuck her what the point
Darkwen, people want to fuck every girl in sight if they're the least bit bangable. Make Nora a man if you don't want another teacher to fuck. And besides, she's got the pregnancy angle to set her apart.
