' Kilo' -- > 1000. When you say a 'Kilometer' (km) you don't expect a 'bonus' 24 meters. :)

I know that everyone likes to blame the hard disc drive manufacturers for starting to use megabyte to refer to 10^6 bytes when everyone else understood it to mean 2^20 bytes -- but I blame the rocket surgeon who decided that a 1440KB (1440*1024 bytes) floppy should be labeled as 1.44MB.

"Kibibyte" makes me think of Bill Cosby's dentist sketch. I think the best answer to kibibyte I've seen was someone agreeing to use kibi/mebi/etc for binary values if kidi/medi/etc were used for decimal values.

Kibby can bite me anytime

P(aul) Frazeebibyte

How about Chibibyte?

Kikibytes and boubabytes

Well, MiB is pretty obvious.

Ah the KWongByte Bcos it's its just wong, so wong

The worst part is when you're debugging storage stuff and realize the 5% difference between GB and GiB is exactly the amount of disk space you're missing. The punch is justified.

What about kibiqubit?

The apology thank you and second punch :(

Wow, you think you know someone...

This was my impulse when I first learned about the -ibibytes, but in the intervening decade-plus I realized it’s Actually Better if programmers all agree on what the units mean

Owww!

Kow long's your arm? kibibyte!
