Please, no more xkcd, as much as I'm a fan. That's one less slot for an interesting article on the front page, as xkcd is usually guaranteed a spot if it's posted.


Much as there's been confusion about 1024 vs. 1000, creating another set of types like "KiB and MiB" just makes things worse, not better! I really hope the "KiB" ridiculousness goes away eventually.


Heh, in the grand scheme of things, that will probably only add to the confusion.


Slightly informative. Mildly funny.
