theunderstudy Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I was at my mate's stag night yesterday, when he and his brother handed me a glass full of yellow, lukewarm liquid. "Drink it," they said, giggling. It was only when I smelt it that I realised the prank the bastards were trying to pull. Fosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I met a popstar in a nightclub last night and we ended up getting really drunk and going back to my place. She was all over me in the taxi, stroking and caressing my body and whispering filth into my ear, but as soon as she got through the front door she stiffened up and her attitude changed completely. "What the **** is that pathetic little thing?" she demanded. "How the hell do you think that you're going to satisfy me with that?" "I'm sorry, Adele," I replied, "it's the biggest fridge I could afford." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 When I gave my wife a penguin bar as a birthday present she looked up at me and said, "Is this some kind of joke?" "Yes," I replied, "and on the inside there's a chocolate covered biscuit." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno_2004 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I got kicked out of the bookstore today. Apparently I wasn't allowed to move Kate McCann's book into the murder mystery section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted May 15, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 15, 2011 I'm with Mike however a metric gig is 1000mb So we're back on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the International System of Units a megabyte is 1000 bytes, a mebibyte is 1024 bytes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDon Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 And there was me thinking 2^20 was 1,048,576. Can't wait for what they decide 1+1 really equals. It is, and that's also irrelevant. A "megabyte" isn't defined as 2^20 bytes, it's defined as "a mega bytes" where mega = 1 million. That technological limitations mean computers work as base 2 doesn't mean that definitions of standard units should change. The prefixes have very specific meaning, you can't have mega meaning 1000^2 in most cases, then 1024^2 when it comes to others. The fact is 1+1 will always equal 2, just as "mega" should always equal 1 million. Your argument should actually be "Can't wait for when they decide 1+1 doesn't equal 3" There's a reason it's called a standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Mega is by 10 to the power 6. Giga is 10 to the power 9. Piko-Nano-Micro-Milli-(Normal)-Kilo-Mega-Giga Also the joke is logically correct anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That technological limitations mean computers work as base 2 doesn't mean that definitions of standard units should change. I disagree because megabyte (all one word, non-hyphenated) is solely a computer term. Where byte is a computer specific term and a megabyte is an amount of those (necessarily to base 2 in computer world) then a megabyte is 1024kb. A metric megabyte can do what it wants by rounding it to some easy-to-digest number like 1000kb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
