There's no reason to refer to SI units for a byte, since "byte" means 8 bits. There's no such thing as "bytemeters" or "bytegrams".
I find it funny that people confuse the whole "base 2 vs base 10" with "SI units". A byte is 8 bits, a kilobyte is 1000 bytes and a kibibyte is 1024 bytes. It's simple.
Let's say you have a 1680x1050 LCD monitor. Try to set the OS at 840x525. The monitor will use exactly four pixels to display each pixel from the computer, so you'll still get a razor-sharp image.
Some of you will say that 840x525 is too small (resolution size, not physical display size), but it's a bit larger than 800x480 which is what most netbooks are these days. And given the number of netbooks sold, more and more applications should try to support 800x480, which means they should be okay with 840x525.
Well, okay, the second Jaguar (cue reply about the Atari Jaguar not being the second commercial product called Jaguar).
Also, the person who modded my post above "interesting" is either on crack or I was right (by luck) about the Jaguar having 1 megaflop of computing power.
My post, however, was that the Atari Jaguar was a mega-flop, i.e. its sales were abysmal, support non-existent, etc.
I think there's something I don't understand. To have results you have to do a search first. I have several websites that come in the top 1000 list depending on the search word I use.

Apart from modding offtopic, is there anything else we can do?
And no I won't read at a higher threshold because of moronic moderators who bury other people's opinions with troll and flamebait mods.
Not to mention the limited bandwidth of Australia.
Well, my display is 1280x1024 and I get 640x512 as a resolution option.
What do you mean? An african or european terabucket?
If it's open, then where does the hold on the market comes from?
Isn't .NET a back-end thing? And if it's open, then it doesn't mean you're forced to use anything from MS on the back-end either.
So, what is to be gained? The ability to say they have x% of the server market or something?
I've found out that whatever resolution you currently use becomes your new minimum. Any lower resolution feels too small because of habit.

It's 2 Gibibyte, of course (1073741824 bytes).
More like "You broke five bottles when you drilled right through one of the crates? Ah, alright."
The LCD would sync with 1280x1024, but the OS should be doing the 2x zooming via the GPU. Ideally with all anti-aliasing settings disabled.

It's not about using a power of 10 vs power of 2, it's about using the SI units for the larger units. A kilo means 1000, not 1024.
We're at a point where we have hard drive manufacturers getting sued by users who are confused by all this damn mess.
Here's some information about the subject.

Where are my millions, Mr. Cuban?
How were you able to read what I wrote? It was a comment!
Just because CS has been abusing a system for over four decades doesn't make it right.
It is, if we're talking about cloud processors for running vaporware.
The first Jaguar was a single megaflop.
The definition of "supercomputer" changes as time goes by. Today's cellphones are yesterday's supercomputers.
Let's just make sure it's 1 000 000 cores and not 1 048 576 cores... let's not make that mistake again.
Forget the president, ask for the winning lottery numbers for the next 20 years!
I always try to comment my code, but then the compiler keeps telling me there's no code to compile.
/* What you mean, my comments not good? My comments very good! You very bad man! */
Yep. 365 of them.
