Comment on Why is 1 GB equal to 10^9 bytes instead of 2^30?parentComments−backprojection12yI kind of feel like we should be able to use scientific notation for this300GB hardrive becomes 300 10^9 bytes or 3 10^10. 32GB or memory becomes 32 2^30, or 2^35.No ambiguity at all, and if you're spending hundreds of dollars for hardware, you should at least be able to grasp exponentiation.
