Comment on Ubuntu Will Switch To Base-10 File Size Units In Future ReleaseparentComments−klodolph16yBecause I sometimes want to do math. Lets say I want to put 6h33m of video on a 4.7 GB DVD. What bitrate do I choose? Ah, 4.7e9*8 bit / 23580 s = 1.59 Mbit/s. Now what happens if we use powers of two? I have to type a lot more into my calculator.
