Hi all,
Here's an interesting mystery for those of you with too much time on your
hands:
We all know that capacity on computers is measured in bytes, where 1KB is
1024bytes. It arrives of course at 1024 since we deal with a binary system
which grows like this.
2 4 6 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024
Pretty straight forward.
Now some of you have 1GB RAM. When you run a check on that the number that
shows up is 1,048,048.
How do they arrive at 1,048,048?
You are allowed to google for the answer. Those with the answer should hold
back for those who still wish to solve it.
