In decimal counting, the kilo- prefix means 1,000. However, when dealing in terms of digital technology, kilo- means 1,024, due to the fact that it's a binary counting system. Meaning, everything is measured in powers of 2.
Today I achieved a binary kilopost. Yes. 1,024 posts. Did you? Likely not. But that's just part of my manly badassity. Please look at the attatched image while listening to the first 1 minute and twenty seconds of "The Planet Krypton" from the "Superman" score for proper reverence.
