A little test for everyone

[Ralle]

OK. I want to test all of what a Gigabyte is. Vote in this poll

 

[Mastif]

Wanna see how many noobs vote wrong

 

[XxSniperWolfxX]

its 1000 lol. how could u get it wrong?????

 

[Ralle]

are you sure about that?

 

[GST_Nemisis]

i know how many it is for 100% because im not a noob

i think its me ralle and mastif who have voted right

 

[Ralle]

no, then it's only you and mastif cause I voted wrong just so people wouldn't think that it was right... hehe

 

[teza89]

i ma too ashamed to admit that i acidently clicked the wrong one!
is there no way to change the one i choose !

 

[darkkeijp]

lol easy, well i can say for myself that im voted right believe me or not

 

[Mastif]

Rasmus should say what's the right one?

 

[GST_Nemisis]

1-2-4-8-16-32-64-128-256-512

 

[dragonmage1703]

as far as i know its 1000.
if its wrong... meh its wrong.
(ive made worse mistakes)

 

[Ralle]

1 KiloByte (KB) = 1024 Byte
1 MegaByte (MB) = 1024 KiloByte
1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1024 MegaByte
1 TeraByte (TB) = 1024 GigaByte
1 PetaByte (PB) = 1024 TeraByte
1 ExaByte (EB) = 1024 PetaByte
1 ZettaByte (ZB) = 1024 ExaByte
1 YottaByte (YB) = 1024 ZettaByte
AND SO ON

 

[GST_Nemisis]

theres some computer in america which has like 1 petabyte of memory :O

 

[Mastif]

I just bought a 5 ExaByte Harddisc to store all the versions of Wh40k td :S

 

[Robi]

1 MegaByte (MB) = 1024 Byte

I think it is 1MegaByte = 1024 KiloByte or?

 

[GST_Nemisis]

hes right, and 1024 kilbyte = 1024 byte and 1024 byte = 1024 bit

 

[XxSniperWolfxX]

ok. i got it wrong in my post.
I BLAME THE AUSTRALIAN SCHOOLS FOR TEACHING US IT WAS 1000 lol. my bad.

 

[darkkeijp]

asked me the question one year ago and i would have told 1024 aswell

 

[darkkeijp]

have to correct my last post. ... and i would said 1000 aswell

 

[Robi]

hes right, and 1024 kilbyte = 1024 byte and 1024 byte = 1024 bit

no it's 1 Byte= 8 bit and 1 kilobyte=1024 Byte. (i think kB is not the same as B )

I ve it from this site.
In German.

Not very clear or? in the Calculator is 1MB=1024KB in the table it is 1MB=1000KB. But i dont know. i think the calculator is better cause everyone thinks 1MB=1024KB or????

Yours
Robi

 

[Ralle]

I didnt do anything wrong Robi. I just didnt say that 1 byte was 8 bit...

 

[Robi]

Look again. its a quote from gst_Nemisis.

 

[Ralle]

hes right, and 1024 kilbyte = 1024 byte and 1024 byte = 1024 bit

Oh yeah.. But Quoting makes life easier

 

[GST_Nemisis]

man stupid computers are too clever...why cant they be easy like the metric system.

 

[Titleist]

Isn't it 1024? I am confused...

 

[Mastif]

Ok i'll try to explain it in this post:
The smallest amount of space is 1 bit
there goes 8 bit on one byte.
1024 bytes on one kilobyte (even though kilo means 1000 :S)
1024 kilobytes on one megabyte (even though mega means 1000000)
1024 megabytes on one gigabyte
and so on

 

[dragonmage1703]

Metric system owns.
Never figured out why they had to make things complicated.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

yeh y do people say the metric system is stupid, it great

 

[Mastif]

Dunno what metric is. Can someone explain to me?

 

[Ralle]

yeehaw the game is up again!!!

[Tanrok]

Anyway, i thought it was a thousand megabyte in a gigabyte, but i guess not. How can one find out?

 

[Flayl]

1 Megabyte = 1024 kilobytes = 1048576 bytes = 8388608 bits

o_0

 

[dragonmage1703]

TY Flayl
So now if anyone asks we know howmuch 1 MB is ^_^.
Bring on the trivia !!!

yertle the turtle is a very rare song written by red hot chili peppers one one of their first albums and now can only be found on an album called organic rareitys. it is also a book. there ya go
