 - And now a rant: 
 -
 - In the beginning, we had powers of two, and they were good.
 -
 - Disk drive manufacturers noticed that some powers of two were
 - sorta close to some powers of ten, and that rounding down to the nearest
 - power of ten allowed them to advertise their drives were bigger. This
 - was sorta annoying.
 -
 - Then drives got big. Really, really big. This was good.
 -
 - Except that the small rounding error perpretrated by the drive
 - manufacturers suffered the fate of a small error, and became a large
 - error. This was bad.
 -
 - So, a committee was formed. And it arrived at a committee-like decision,
 - which satisfied noone, confused everyone, and made the world an uglier
 - place. As with all committees, this was meh.
 -
 - And the drive manufacturers happily continued selling drives that are
 - increasingly smaller than you'd expect, if you don't count on your
 - fingers. But that are increasingly too big for anyone to much notice.
 - This caused me to need git-annex.
 -
 - Thus, I use units here that I loathe. Because if I didn't, people would
 - be confused that their drives seem the wrong size, and other people would
 - complain at me for not being standards compliant. And we call this
 - progress?
