*puts on geek pedant hat*

its actually 3.74KB

or 3828 bytes

and kb means kilobits and therefore it's actually 30.6kb

sorry to be so geeky, but someone I know constantly misuses "kilobits" and "kilobytes" and it really annoys me

# But in normal usage
B/b is interchangable.

This shouldn't annoy you.

# They're not interchangable!
if they were we might as well throw away all measurement standards and just call everything "things"

# Works for me too
At work we've got technical names and acronyms for everything.
I prefer to call them Berts, Freds and Harolds.Or, if they're really complex :
Doofers, Whatsits, Whassnames and Hoojemyflips.
Makes life MUCH easier !

# Hahaha!
Couldn't agree more!

TJ: Don't you think b3ta has become less fluffy of late?

Take the thing the new Links board says when you go to reply to something:
This is not the place to slag off other members' work. If you don't like it, don't say anything, and don't click "I like this".
I went to woo someone and that message removed all my happy woofullness in one fell swoop :(

And the new "FUN SHIT" button at the top of the FP - sweariness when you don't expect it is all nasty and bad...

# I don't think
this weeks 5k offensive challenge has helped.
and the Mods have been a bit overzealous on occasion of late.

Solution ?
Post something fluffy !
