If by this you mean that in networking, a megabit per second is equal to 1000^2, or a gigabit per second is 1000^3, then my response consists of:
Uhm, no.
If your response (I haven't followed this whole thread, so I'm not up on all of the discussion here) is concerning the capitalization and such used for it, then I really don't care which it is as the purpose is to communicate, and strict adherence to capitalization just isn't that important to communication. *shrug*

This makes me think you're concerned about powers of 2 versus powers of 10. In which case, reference my response above. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
