And now standards organizations want us to use those GAY prefixes that sound faggish. But we EXPERT PROGRAMMERS refuse and resist, and keep using the old-style KB, MB and GB prefixes meaning powers of 1024, as it should be. Choose your side, /prog/. Are you for faggotry or expertise?

now i'm no fancy big city hardware expert but i think they have different meanings and should be used in different situations

i wouldn't mind seeing KiB, and the likes, used when civilians are involved but when us nerds are involved i believe we should use the proper way that our computers calculate sizes
