I am not very much in favor of this patch. Any normal sane person still

Nobody normal knows that kilo actually means 2^10 ...
Yes I know us computer people regularly abuse the term, but nowadays the
majority of computer lusers are familiar with the fact kilo has *always*
meant 10^3.
After all, isn't a billion one million squared? (10^12) ... :-) It's
only the Americans who think it's 1000^3 :-)
