Ubuntu Will Switch To Base-10 File Size Units In Future Release 984

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday March 27, 2010 @11:55AM from the stay-above-the-belt dept.

CyberDragon777 writes "Ubuntu's future 10.10 operating system is going to make a small, but contentious change to how file sizes are represented. Like most other operating systems using binary prefixes, Ubuntu currently represents 1 kB (kilobyte) as 1024 bytes (base-2). But starting with 10.10, a switch to SI prefixes (base-10) will denote 1 kB as 1000 bytes, 1 MB as 1000 kB, 1 GB as 1000 MB, and so on."

Then I assume your face wouldn't screw up in disgust, hence not closing the page. Very simple, really.

Personally I would suggest CGI child porn for them, but that's deemed illegal these days as well, as it's 'too realistic', despite the fact that no children were harmed for it.
