I saw that MOH: Pacific Assualt demo was out so I went over to Fileshack where I have a mercury account to use and I'm getting nearly a 1Gb download off their servers! I guess no one else is on line today

Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them? -
1Gb? you mena 1Mb, right?"And yet, after spending 20+ years trying to evolve the user interface into something better, what's the most powerful improvement Apple was able to make? They finally put a god damned shell back in." -jwz

Actually that's 8Mb...All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.Comment

Actually, if you want to get technical, that's 8MB... notice the capital B. Megabit vs. Megabyte. Either way, that's DAMNED fast!
LeechWah! Wah!

No, lecter is right. 1024KB is 1MB, which is 8Mb.Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry CoxComment

If you're talking units of data storage, then, in order, it's Megabit, Megabyte, millibyte, millibit. The last two don't exist.Originally posted by GuchiGuh

Mercedes Benz should always be written out in full, to abbreviate would be disrespectful

M = Mega (i.e. millions, although in computing it is often 1024*1024 depending on what suits)
K = Kilo (i.e. 1000 or 1024 depending)
m = milli (i.e. thousandths, not used in computing)
b = bit
B = Byte (i.e. 8 bits)FT.Comment

Also, the technically correct way of expressing 1024x1024 (or 2 to the power of twenty) would be Mebi and 1024<sup>3</sup> (or 2<sup>30</sup>)would be Gibi (giving us Mebibyte and Gibibyte), but nobody uses that because it sounds stupid
But if you want to piss off the Prof Who Knows Everything<sup>TM</sup>, this can be useful

Actually, the "k" for kilo is a lower case "k". The upper case "K" is reserved for temperature in Kelvin degrees. [/nitpicking]Last edited by Brian R.; 7 September 2004, 13:01.Comment

Actually, in Kelvins, not Kelvin degrees.

Actually, it's 6 degrees of separation from Kelvin Bacon.
