Is this thread still open?
Does the OP need more mockery or is he done?

I’m not wrong; all electronic data is stored as sets of 0 and 1’s, regardless of the medium it’s stored on, and as such must follow the binary-system.
Now it doesn’t mean that NASA’s research is completely wrong.
And THAT is just completely wrong.
NO computer don’t “must” follow binary system.
They use binary representation of number to represent physically the numbers. And that’s where it ends. You can show numbers in a decimal, hexa, octa, binary representation, it’s a choice.
If you have 1000 eggs then you still use the decimal system, not the egg system.
The hard drive is a series of bit (resp Bytes, does not matter), when you have 1000 ot them you have 1kb(resp 1kB).
If you decide that now 1kB is 1024 kB then you are WRONG, just as if you decide that one kilometer is now 1050 m because it’s easier for you to use (because each distance between two towns is actually a multiple of 1050m). You are making a choice, that seems interesting for you, but is actually stupid. It is stupid because the language is supposed to make people exchange ideas, and this choice make people misunderstand your idea and you misunderstand theirs.
so the notion that 1GB=2^30B is a STUPID idea, that has been kept because Microsoft engineers were unable to accept their mistake and kept pushing that bug as a feature.
Also there ar other reasons why the HD have less capacity that what is said.
The main one, is that what you see from the OS is a LOGICAL drive, so a part of the usable bytes are used for things helping the storage of the data bytes, like verification code, master table, fragmentation, etc.

It’s 1.000 eggs anyways and NOT 1,000 eggs…
1,000 eggs would be ONE egg 
Because a comma(and NOT a point) seperates anything UNDER 1 in civilized countries 
Why does smaller values say 3.5 billion instead of 3,500 million?
Shouldn’t 3,500 billion be written as 3.5 trillion?
Consistency?

This is not a scam or bug, this is evidence that the parents failed to teach this person basic manners.
Another word for fuel.
Fuel uses the egg system now.
How any mockeries to the egg these days anyway?

So git gud in game. And then git gud in real life too.
A bakers dozen cubits.
It’s a good thing that Eve pays attention to the computer’s l12n settings, with regards to using , or . as the decimal separator, and the thousands separator.
