 Binary prefix 

Thanks for your recent edit at Binary prefix; some of the changes do improve the flow. However, your assertion about ""computing"" contexts always using powers of two is inaccurate, consider storage devices (hard disks, floppy disks...), clock speeds, and data speeds (""1 kbps"" = 1000 b/s). In fact, apart from RAM and some places in an OSes, there is no place where binary prefixes are always used. Could you fix your edit about ""non-computing contexts"" etc.? I'll do it myself if I get the time later. Thanks,   "
