Greetings,
WRONG
Nitpick.
I've never used the term 'kibibit', have you?

Okay, then let me edit my statement:
said by nevertheless:
There had always been 1024 bits in a kilobit until some people decided that they wanted to make things more confusing than they already were.
That would mean, of course, that there always had been 8192 bits in a kilobyte, but now there is either 8192 or 8000 bits in a kilobyte, depending on who you ask.

| Excuse me? You do know what kilo means correct? 10^3 of something. Before, they were using the term incorrectly, hence the corrections needed to be made. This in fact should've removed the confusion because people know what a kilo means; a 1000, not 1024. |
