< MFW when the comments are arguing over the size of a GB and GiB, how does everyone not know this by now.

To clear things up, for people who still don't get it: Some people, some time ago, used "kilo" as a multiple of 1024 in computers, because they lacked a name for that important multiple value and let's face it, 1000 ~ 1024. However, the fact that some of them were pros and all that, doesn't change the fact that they were wrong, as the prefix "kilo" is defined to mean 1000 by SI. That's why a new standard was issued in 1998 and added the kibi/mebi/gibi stuff to mean 2^10 / 2^20 / 2^30 etc.
So this joke sucks and what you find on google is irrelevant.

Turns out that KB, MB and GB is both...
The English language is just so amazing isn't it?

Except it makes no sense whatsoever to try and force the scientific prefix interpretation over standard, common usage.
1GB is 1024MB for binary purposes (Powers of 2). The Giga prefix is used because it is the closest one that is meaningful and the margin of error is tiny.

People are fucking stupid. Probably none of the fucktards here is a or ever worked with computers. 1 GB = 1000 MB, 1 GiB = 1024 MiB.
Even if it says on your shit hard drive that 1 GB = 1024 MB, that's wrong. L2ComputerScience.

How could you possibly disagree with basic logic?
BTW, maybe you're not sure about which comment I'm talking about:
"Do you understand , how little sense that would make ? By your silly logic
1 GB = 1024 MB , 1 MB = 1024 KB , 1 KB = 1024 B
1 GiB= 1024 MiB, 1 Mib= 1024 KiB, 1 Kib = 1024 ??? A Bibibyte ??"

Is this your first time on the internet? Bad words = rage. Yeah, it must be. I was just imitating your comment, which is a form of trolling, unlike yours. Remaining with no arguments and trying to be condescending in a childish attempt to infuriate the person you're talking to, is not trolling. Welcome to the internet, noob. Want me to teach you some stuff?

Once again, false. I was belittling you, actually. And small-dick jokes. Well, your young age might explain why you're new to the internet. Suggestion: stand back, watch others, learn from them so that maybe you won't be looking like such a noob.
I'm going to bed now, so bye. It's late and I'm disappointed in the lack of computer knowledge people who spend all day on the internet have.

So judging by the comments 1000mb isnt 1gb... so then why did the call it a gigabyte then?

Well no fucking shit Sherlock, a lot of the OS is stored on your HDD.
There's a tiny part of the motherboard that holds just enough info for the computer to grab the rest of the OS off of the HDD, the rest is stored permanently on your HDD, this is why you get the trolls going "Win32 is a virus delete it ASAP" and then people's computer fuck up, it's because they PHYSICALLY DELETE THEIR OS and the computer does not know how to run itself, the programs you have open do not however break(badly anyways) because they are in essence a self-contained OS, they would never be able to run a computer but they have enough information to be able to run themselves.

Not for media storage, but for memory (RAM) and operating systems. The conversion rates are dissimilar between them.

No, they are not. 1024MB is 1GB PERIOD.
Hard drive manufacturers MARKET using 1000MB, which is why a 2TB drive never shows up as 2TB after you install it.
One Gigabyte is a unit of measurement, and does not change.
1 byte = 8 bits, regardless of media.
