Re: How many kilobits in a kilobyte
The term 'kilobit' is most commonly used in the expression of data rates (digital communication speeds) in the abbreviated form "kbps", "kb/s"[2], or "kbit/s", meaning "kilobits per second". A kilobit is an expression of grouped bits meaning 1,000 (103) bits. Use of the term to denote a kibibit is deprecated and contrary to international standard. 1 kilobit per second = 1,000 bits per second

Re: How many kilobits in a kilobyte
1 KB = 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes

There are specific prefixes for binary:
Kibit 1 = 2 power 10 bits = 1024 bits
These are now used in more and more software, such as the Nautilus file browser (included in GNOME, a Linux window manager). That, ultimately, a good way to keep accurate, while remaining simple for users who have been accustomed to this error.
