Re: [pygame] PyDay #1

I'm not sure. I think PyDay should have a set of clearly defined rules. If everyone objects to clarifications by one person, I think we should decide on the rules together. I'm guessing this last is because 1024 is not intuitive. Kilo means 1000, so KB should mean 1000 bytes. I think the computer industry is stupid:
1024 is 2^10, which makes a lot of sense when you're storing binary data.
I think we should just stick to 1000 for KB and 1024 for KiB.
Then there's no confusion.

1000bytes = 1024bytes = 1KB
1KB = 1.024KB = 1/1024MB = 1/1000MB
