How the does anyone working with computers not know fucking SI prefixes? Absolutely pathetic.

Kibibyte. It means 1,024 bytes. KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB and so on seem to be used a lot in the modern Linux environment, whereas Windows calls everything KB, MB, GB, TB (even though I think it calculates some things as 1024 bytes per KB, other things as 1000 bytes per KB). Strictly speaking, ``normally" KB, MB, GB etc means a factor of 1000, while JEDEC uses those terms, but applies a factor of 1024 instead. KiB, MiB etc are IEC units, which ALWAYS use a step of 1024 rather than 1000.

What exactly does that have to do with SI prefixes or ignorance of computer-related matters? Yes, it's not completely correct to say that ``ReactOS is Wine", however ReactOS does use a considerable amount of code from Wine, so it's not hard to understand her reasoning.
