Nope again, it's actually a Yup!
Time to correct your article!;-)
"bits in data communications are discrete signal pulses and have historically been counted using the decimal number system". I thought your post looked odd.

megabit
In data communications, a megabit is a million binary pulses, or 1,000,000 (that is, 106) pulses (or "bits"). It's commonly used for measuring the amount of data that is transferred in a second between two telecommunication points. For example, a U.S. phone company T-carrier system line is said to sustain a data rate of 1.544 megabits per second. Megabits per second is usually shortened to Mbps.
Some sources define a megabit to mean 1,048,576 (that is, 220) bits. Although the bit is a unit of the binary number system, bits in data communications are discrete signal pulses and have historically been counted using the decimal number system. For example, 28.8 kilobits per second (Kbps) is 28,800 bits per second. Because of computer architecture and memory address boundaries, bytes are always some multiple or exponent of two. See kilobyte, etc.
"Over a 1Megabit-per-second ADSL line (which is actually 1,048,576 bits per second),"
Is this right?
I thought when you were talking network speeds, 1Mbps ADSL is 1,000,000 bits per second.
I thought You only do the 8 bit/byte thing for RAM/Files sizes.

Who's the network nazi now?
Do you have a Firewall, Antivirus and regular patching schedule?

Cisco Call Manager runs on Windows 2000 BTW.
Prior art, supposedly some guy name Cain beat you to it (pardon the pun).
Hmm, here's another, black electrical tape over said TV's IR receiver.
