Nothing can be more annoying than when people mix 1024 and 1000 at the same time in the same unit e.g. using 1024 x 1000 to get from byte to KB to MB (common when measuring the size of a 1.44 "MB" floppy disk) - you're just trying to be confusing then changing between conventions in the same breath Like Unne said, just stick to 1024 for all powers since that's the most common usage almost everywhere - HD sizes quoted by HD manufacturers are the only ones that consistently use 1000 instead to make it seem their drives hold more than if quoted using powers of 1024.</div>
