Bytes, kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes. Why multiple of 1024 instead of 1000

Not a matter of DB 100%.
At the OS level.
8    bits       = 1 Byte
1024 Bytes      = 1 kilobyte
1024 kilobyte      = 1 Megabyte
1024 megabyte      = 1 Gigabyte
.
.
People that originally came with this math of storage; Why do they not use multiples of 1000 instead of 1024 in these calculations? Whence this 24?

  • How big are the bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, etc.?

    Can I have a big list how each are in order? And maybe the something that would be the size for each amount? A list of preference and not a link, please.

    No idea, maybe Google's servers? But I doubt you'll need numbers like that for domestic use for a long time yet unless you like store every movie and every piece of music ever made (and keep backups) :-)

    With all due respect, you are incorrect. You simply did not notice before D drive. D drive is a logical drive. To the best of my knowledge there is no way to prevent it from the show. However, simply disable the system for D drive restore.

  • I prefer SEPARATE (for multiple open documents) instead of tedious proceedings hover over the icon and then choose the one I want.

    Notepad or WORD or EXCEL, Lotus SAMETIME, I prefer SEPARATE (for multiple open documents) instead of tedious proceedings hover over the icon and then choose the one I want.  I can't figure out how to change that, and it's a boring true change to XP. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Go to the Start menu button, right-click on it, select Properties, click the task bar .

    Click the drop-down list buttons Taskbar & select never combine.

    That's all.  You should now see an entry of the separate taskbar for each open file on your PC.

  • I want to burn the Audio CD and have 'lists of track/name' instead of.cda extensions.

    * Original title: extension of the cda

    I asked this before, but apparently what I'm asking is impossible to do, nobody understands my question, nobody has the answer to my question, or those seeking to respond to start putting carts before horses to confuse with 'Troubleshootering,' 'Beware of 3rd party software', etc.

    Maybe it's my way of asking the question, I don't know.
    Here it is again:
    1 burn audio CDs. This is the original CD, no tears.
    2. I burn data CDs. In this sense I have archive writing, planning and designs on CD/DVD.
    3. I know the difference between burning via WinExplorer and WinMedia thing.
    4. everything I burn work fine where it is supposed to.,.
    5. my equipment is fine. Nothing is broken. IT ALL WORKS.
    What I want:
    I want to burn the Audio CD and have "lists of track/name" instead of XXX1.cda.
    I DON'T WANT the .cda extension.
    Is this possible?
    So please: don't tell me what are the .cda extensions or what they or suggest various utilities for troubleshooting hardware or software that works very well.

    ALL I WANT IS TO GET RID OF THE cda EXTENSIONS.
    "I WANT TRACK NAMES" on my music CD.
    Thank you.
    Mario in Victoria

    ==================================================
    I understand that you want track names in the directory of
    your Audio CD (music), the same thing that you can on a data CD (MP3).

    Simple answer...

    The extension of the ADC will still be visible in the Audio directory
    (Music) CD.

    Take a look at one of your retail music CDs... and you will see that they
    are all like that. There is no way to display the track names in the directory
    CD audio (music).

    Take a look at the following article for a bit of info on the CDA files.
