<linkmauve>
dsimic, jakllsch, the SI prefix for 1000 is k, not K.
<linkmauve>
Ki is 1024 though.
<linkmauve>
Using the correct prefix is useful for people to understand them correctly.

(So kB or KiB, not KB.)

linkmauve: indeed, "k" is one of the SI prefixes, while "K" isn't
<dsimic>
however, "K" has become some kind of a de facto standard, in computing, for a prefix that means 1,024, just like "Ki" does
<phh>
i'm not saying you're wrong, but i've personally never understood KB as KiB, but as kB
<dsimic>
regarding "kB', that's simply wrong and shouldn't be used unless when referrring to storage capacity, which uses powers of 10, instead of powers of 2
<dsimic>
however, even storage uses "K" with the (un)written rule that "K" then means 1,000
<dsimic>
phh: I see, but "K", as a non-standard prefix, means 1,024, not 1,000
<dsimic>
thus, "KB" should be understood as "KiB", not as "kB"; the latter is simply wrong, as I described above
