No idea how fast my line is....But isn't their calculation wrong? I thought 200Kb was 204800bytes and not 200000bytes.

[penagate]

Nope, 200KB is 200000 bytes. 200KiB is 204800 bytes.

The prefix K was used, to distinguish this quantity from the SI prefix k.

1,024 bytes (210): This definition is used to express memory capacity and by most software to express storage capacity.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte


So I guess there is two options here. They say one thing, and mean an other thing. Or they are wrong. KB with a capital K actualy means 2^10. Thats it...

[Jacob Roman]

Doh!!! I can't do negative reps in chit chat. NoteMe is right, penagate.

[penagate]

*Officially*

kB = 1000 bytes
KiB = 1024 bytes
KB = non-existent

But in *common* usage
KB is taken to mean 1024 bytes or 1000 bytes.

Since there is no official definition for KB, then I'm not wrong, but Note isn't right either

KB = Non-existing? Did you see my link at all. It say there that it IS existing, and that they made the big K to destinguis it from the small k....

[penagate]

Sure I saw it, here is a direct quote from it

However, the K prefix was never formally mandated and it is not used consistently.

There you go. I did say *officially* non-exisiting.

[NoteMe]

And the reason it is not used consistently is because of n00bs like those who made that test page. Everyone should follow the rules no matter if it is a written rule or unwritten rule. They are wrong.....they should improve their spelling...

[penagate]

Yep, so true.... everyone needs to improve their spelling

[NoteMe]

I can't say anything agains that one..

Is it me or do we have computer illiterate n00bs in this thread? LOL!

[dglienna]

At least one!

Nope, 200KB is 200000 bytes. 200KiB is 204800 bytes.

Same thing.
