	Definitions of the SI units: The binary prefixes
		In December 1998 the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the leading international organization for worldwide standardization in electrotechnology, approved as an IEC International Standard names and symbols for prefixes for binary multiples for use in the fields of data processing and data transmission.
		It is suggested that in English, the first syllable of the name of the binary-multiple prefix should be pronounced in the same way as the first syllable of the name of the corresponding SI prefix, and that the second syllable should be pronounced as "bee."
		It is important to recognize that the new prefixes for binary multiples are not part of the International System of Units (SI), the modern metric system.

	Bambooweb: Binary prefix
		Binary prefixes are often used to quantify large amounts of bytes, bits, or bits per second (bit/s, bps), and are derived, but slightly different, from the SI prefixes such as kilo-, mega-, giga- and so on.
		As popularly used, these prefixes often indicate multiples that are similar, but not equal, to factors denoted by their SI counterparts.
		These are identical to SI prefixes, except for "K", which corresponds to "k"; in SI (K stands for Kelvin in SI).

	SI prefix: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		An SI prefix is a prefix which can be appplied to any unit of the International System of Units (SI) to to give subdivisions and multiples of that unit.
		The prefix "milli" subdivides by a thousand, so a millimetre is one thousandth of a metre (1,000 millimetres in a metre), and a millilitre is one thousandth of a litre.
		The way that the same prefixes can be applied to any SI unit is one of the strengths of SI, since it considerable simplifies the learning and use of it.

	Binary prefix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the prefixes denoting fractions of a bit or byte might theoretically find application in areas such as cryptography, data compression, and data transfer rates, they are not used in practice.
		This standard, which was approved in 1998, introduced the prefixes kibi-, mebi-, gibi-, tebi-, pebi-, exbi-, to be used in specifying binary multiples of a quantity.
		BIPM (which maintains SI) expressly prohibits the binary prefix usage, and recommends the use of the IEC prefixes as an alternative (computing units are not included in SI).

	Binary numeral system - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The binary or base-two numeral system is a system for representing numbers in which a radix of two is used; that is, each digit in a binary numeral may have either of two different values.
		The first known description of a binary numeral system was made by Indian mathematician Pingala in his Chhandah-shastra, placed variously in the 5th century BC or the 2nd century BC.
		A binary number can be represented by any sequence of bits (binary digits), which in turn may be represented by any mechanism capable of being in two mutually exclusive states.

	Prefix (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linguistics, a prefix is a type of affix that precedes the morphemes to which it can attach.
		The use of prefixes has been found to correlate statistically with other linguistic features, such as a verb-object word order and the use of prepositions.
		In the Indo-European languages, prefixes are mostly derivational morphemes (inflection is most often marked with suffixes).

	SI prefix at AllExperts
		Thus the SI prefixes provide steps of a factor one million instead of one thousand in the case of an exponent 2, of a billion in the case of an exponent 3, etc. As a result large numbers may be needed, even if the prefixes are fully used.
		When any SI prefix is affixed to a root word, the prefix carries the primary stress, and the root word carries a secondary stress on the same syllable that is stressed when the root word stands alone.
		The prefixes K and greater are common in computing, where they are applied to information and storage units like the bit and the byte.

	Info Node: (calc.info)Binary Functions
		The "binary" operations actually work regardless of the currently displayed radix, although their results make the most sense in a radix like 2, 8, or 16 (as obtained by the `d 2', `d 8', or `d 6' commands, respectively).
		A symbolic binary function will be left in symbolic form unless the all of its argument(s) are integers or integer-valued floats.
		A negative prefix argument performs a logical right shift, in which zeros are shifted in on the left.

	Binary numeral system Summary
		Binary division is performed in the same fashion as decimal long division but is actually easier because the digits in the quotient can only be 0 or 1.
		An ordered binary arrangement of the hexagrams of the I Ching, representing the decimal sequence from 0 to 63, and a method for generating the same, was developed by the Chinese scholar and philosopher Shao Yong in the 11th century.
		A binary number can be represented by any sequence of bits (binary digits), which in turn may be represented by any mechanism capable of being in two mutually exclusive states.

		Prefix lengths less than 8 require the first byte to be examined in binary; the remaining three bytes of the address are ignored since they lie completely beyond the address prefix.
		Likewise, prefix lengths between 8 and 16 require a binary decomposition on the second byte; the first byte matches exactly and the last two bytes are ignored.
		Prefix lengths from 16 to 24 fall within the third byte, so the first two bytes match exactly and the last one is ignored.

	1.7 Using Binary Labels
		Binary headers are extra records that appear at the beginning of the file, between the standard label and the image.
		Binary headers are often thought of as extra “lines” of data, but depending on the file organization they can actually be extra lines, samples, or bands.
		Binary prefixes are extra bytes that appear at the beginning of each image record.

	asm86 Tutorial - Number Systems
		Binary is another counting system, and it is very close to the number system used by the computer.
		There is no prefix for decimal, and the suffix is either d or D (if no prefix or suffix is given then the value is treated as decimal).
		For binary the prefix is % and the suffix either b or B. For hexadecimal the prefix is $ and the suffix either h or H. In case you ever need to use octal the prefix is @ and the suffixes o or O. Summary

	Proposals:Consistent usage of label and binary images - KitwarePublic
		Label images and binary images are not consistently defined in the toolkit currently: the definition is dependent of the class which manipulate the image.
		Most of the time, what is a binary image or a label image is not defined in the docstring of the class, and the user has to test, or to read the code of the class to know how those notions are used in a particular class.
		Example: usually, a mask is a binary image, not a label image (in some cases, a mask image is a grayscale image used to constrain the values of an image, during a dilation for example).

	Prefix Compression of Sparse Binary Strings
		Prefix compression tries to bring together one-bits that are separated in the string by breaking up the string into equal-size segments.
		The first part of this token is a prefix (00), the second part is a count (1), and the rest are the suffixes of the two pixels having prefix 00.
		In our example the prefixes are four bits long and all 16 possible prefixes have the same probability since a pixel may be located anywhere in the image.

		When written, binary numerals are often subscripted or suffixed in order to indicate their base, or radix.
		The following notations are equivalent: 100101 binary (explicit statement of format) 100101b (a suffix indicating binary format) bin 100101 (a prefix indicating binary format) 1001012 (a subscript indicating base-2 notation) When spoken, binary numerals are usually pronounced by pronouncing each individual digit, in order to distinguish them from decimal numbers.
		Since the binary numeral "100" is equal to the decimal value four, it would be confusing, and numerically incorrect, to refer to the numeral as "one hundred."

	Binary prefixes (Linux Reviews)
		Binary prefixes are often written and pronounced identically to the SI prefixes, despite the resulting ambiguity.
		Although the SI prefixes denoting fractions of a bit or byte might theoretically find application in areas such as cryptography, data compression, and data transfer rates, they are not used in practice.
		Therefore, rather than measuring the success of the binary prefixes based on how commonly they appear in technical and marketing literature, it may be more appropriate to judge them by their success in restoring the original power-of-ten meaning of the standard SI prefixes in information technology.

	IEC prefixes and symbols for binary multiples
		It is suggested that in English, the first syllable of the name of the binary‐multiple prefix should be pronounced in the same way as the first syllable of the name of the corresponding SI prefix, and that the second syllable should be pronounced as “bee”.
		Similarly, the symbol of each new prefix is derived from the symbol of the corresponding SI prefix by adding the letter ‘i’, which again recalls the word “binary”.
		These prefixes for binary multiples, which were developed by the IEC Technical Committee (TC) 25, Quantities and Units, and Their Letter Symbols, with the strong support of CIPM, IEEE and ISO, were first adopted by the IEC as

		Binary digits are almost always used as the basic unit of information storage and communication in digital computing and digital information theory.
		Interestingly, Vannevar Bush had written in 1936 of "bits of information" that could be stored on the punch cards used in the mechanical computers of that time.
		Terms for large quantities of bits can be formed using the standard range of prefixes, e.g., kilobit (kbit), megabit (Mbit) and gigabit (Gbit).

	Binary Compatibility
		Binaries are compiled to rely on the accessible members and constructors of other classes and interfaces.
		Binary compatibility is not the same as source compatibility.
		Perhaps surprisingly, the binary format is defined so that changing a member or constructor to be more accessible does not cause a linkage error when a subclass (already) defines a method to have less access.
