Jonathan, you can upload images with 2000 Kb size

So I guess it'll be 2^20

Nice picture by the way on your backgroudn

Sab: do you have any idea what you're talking about?

Yea, I'm not as stupid as I look...

When 1 mb = 10^6 bytes it wouldn't be a real Mb, but a little less...

2^20 bytes would be a real mb...

2^20

M=1000*1048.576?

And there is no 'real' quantity for SI-prefix-B. Actually there is since I mention SI prefixes (10^6), but I hope you know what I mean.

sabarai means that if the limit were 2 * 10^6 B, then 2000KiB wouldn't work. This is the basis for his assumpion that the limit is 2 ^ 21 B (where 1M = 2^20)

2 * 2^20, but thanks tree, for explaining it to Jonathan

But.. I don't believe bytes and stuff are in the SI Jonathan...

SI = Sports Illustrated?

The M=1000 prefix is.

M=10^6 sounds more likely to me than 10^3. And the SI doesn't apply to bytes except for hard disk manufracturers.

Walking Tree · Post by **Walking Tree** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 9:48 pm

no there is not. And I would like to see an actual screenshot of your desktop. like, with desktop icons etc. see the other pictures in this thread.

making a screenshot in windows
press you <Print Screen> key on your keyboard
open paint and press Ctrl-V
save the file. best to select JPG as "file type"
