ARGH! :p
i need help with some Binary coding
simple every day use

bits and Bytes

ppl misuse them ALL the time!
its KB for KiloBytes
and Kb for Kilobits

BUT!
am i right in assuming this:

Byte = 8 bits
KB = 1024 Bytes
MB = 1024KBytes
Kb = 128Bytes/s
Mb = 128KByes/s

only pablo will know!! :)

Why should I know that? :p

I'd say that's ok, but sometimes, when calculating transfer delays it's usually asumed that 1 Kilobyte = 1000 Bytes = 8000 bits. Just so that you can calculate it mentally.

Ask gnoff, he must know about this one :)
