SI prefixes for binary orders of magnitude.

August 3rd, 2003
SI prefixes for binary orders of magnitude. (summary: “-bi-” is a new infix, replacing the second syllable of the corresponding 10-power SI prefix, standing for “binary”; e.g. 1 kilobyte is properly equal to 1000 bytes, but 1 kibibyte = 210 bytes = 1024 bytes.)
