Your scant regard for the rules has caused you to go over by 6,543 bytes. As such, my broadband internet experience has been ruined.
I'm going to console myself at web.archive.org and enjoy sites from 1998.

mind you I've never got my head around floating numbers in maths and 3x3.3 recurring equalling 10

cos it's just fractions.
what's insanely annoying is the proof I got shown that 0.999 recurring = 1.
I refuse to believe that. Maybe that's why I'm so shit at calculus.

Or, as my autocorrect puts it, you can't argue with Shane.

Your computer counts bytes in powers of two: 1 KiB = 1024 bytes because 1024 = 210.
People (and sneaky HDD makers) count in powers of ten: 1 KB* = 103.
Don't worry about the 0.3... thing, most people have trouble with that. My solution is to just not think too hard about it.
*I don't know why they use a capital k, it flies in the face of normal SI prefixes, but the i in KiB is there so you know which base (2 or 10) you're dealing with.
