The name “Evelyn“, the image and the repeated references to the girl scouts may make your use of the pronoun „he“ suspect.

I think the picture of the author (clearly female) is the give-away, but the name "Evelyn" isn't because it is one of those names (e.g. "Lee") that are applied to both men and women.

Yep.

Though admittedly it belongs to the category: names I'd have thought were exclusively women's except I heard of just this one dude. My list is:

* Evelyn Waugh

* Vivian Richards

* Marion Barry

Oops, looks like I was not only careless, but biased there! Sorry.

Wasn't there a study that demonstrated that most males would imagine a person always being male first - unless the opposite would be proven?

I'm not sure, but I (male) definitely do and my girlfriend does the opposite

The only Evelyn that comes to my mind is “Waugh”...

> I'm happy that 2^10 is close enough to 10^3 that the whole kB/KB/kiB issue rarely matters much.

It matters more these days when we're more likely to be talking about 2^30 or 2^40 and the difference multiplies. (It's only 2.4% at a kilobyte, but nearly 10% at a terabyte.) In fact it has gotten quite a few people upset, like this reviewer on Amazon who said Samsung was falsely advertising their "512GB" MicroSD card that really only has 476GB as displayed by the reviewer's operating system:

I wrote a reply to the review that explains the difference between the two numbering systems, as 512,000,000,000 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 rounded down to an integer is the 476 that the OS or file utility displayed.

I suppose it's a shame that GiB and such never took off, but probably they would be even more confusing. (What does the "i" mean, and which is which?)

This may be a no-win situation.

> I suppose it's a shame that GiB and such never took off

It sort of did. This is what OSes use to report storage sizes.
