Tobacco Use & Consequences. Smokeless tobacco use is back on the rise. The Federal Trade Commission's 2003 Report on smokeless tobacco states that, for the past three years of data (1999-2001), sales of smokeless tobacco (in pounds) has increased compared to a declining trend from 1991 to 1999.
A kilobyte equals 1000 bytes (actually 1024 bytes but we normally round it off). A megabyte equals 1,000,000 bytes. A gigabyte equals one billion bytes. For comparison, a standard 3 1/2 inch floppy disk holds 1.44 megabytes (1,440,000 bytes). A Zip disk holds 100 or 250 megabytes.
In the same way, A Terabyte is not 1024 Gigabytes, but 1000 Gigabytes. Both 'giga' and 'mega' along with 'kilo' and 'tera' are metric prefixes which means they increase by scale factors of 1000. However, 1024 Bytes is a Kibibyte, and 1024 Kibibytes is a Mebibyte.
