Can someone tell me, is what I meant to say.

While we're on the topic of computers, can tell me how I could find out what kind of UBS port I have? I'm thinking of buying an mp3 player and the one I'm thinking of buying said something about a high-speed UBS port only?

okay, and is RAM memory different from the memory you actually have available for storing things? if so, how do you find out actual hard drive space (what am I saying, RAM is totally different) how do you find out how much space is on your hard drive?

and why do my fingers shrink as the day goes on? my ring is totally falling off.

hmm... what else can I say in this post?... Todd Kerns is a total hottie, but i still have the hots for my prof. damnit. i mean, volunteers (who coincidentally have girlfriends - damnit!) aside, i can't stop thinking of dear old forestry prof, who gives me butterflies every time i see him... and to think i almost applied to be his grad student... wouldn't that have been bad? *sigh* i've got to start setting age limits.

Short answer, use 1000, like other SI measures.

Long answer, for low level prefixes, (kilo- and mega-), generally they use 1024, because it's a power of 2. Higher level prefixes (giga-, tera-, ...) started to use 1000, just because it's simpler to convert; particularly for consumers. It's dumb, but that's the convention now. Of course, it also depends on the implementation; some measures will use 1000, some will use 1024. (I know when they quote it to you in specs, they'll use 1000 so they end up with more gigabytes, but the software may decide that 1024 is more consistent.)

hey, how many megs are in a gig? Meagan's computer is incredibly slow, so we're wondering if maybe she's maxed out all her space with music... it would just help to know how many megabytes make up a gigabyte (because it's not a straight conversion, is it?)

Looks like CBC and Canada.com have put up some better photo-gallaries now. Worth checking out.

Not surprisingly... BBC has better pictures of the RCMP memorial than our news services...
