As much as it all annoys me too, the SI prefixes are used correctly pretty much 
everywhere except in operating systems.

A kilometer is not 1024 meters and a megawatt is not 1048576 watts.

Us, the IT community, grabbed a set of well defined prefixes used by the rest 
of creation, redefined them, and then became angry because the remainder of 
civilization uses the correct terms.

We have no one to blame but ourselves.
