Christophe: Since the dawn of computing the metric prefixes in association with computing has meant 2^(n * 10) for some value of n (at least in the vast majority of cases).  This only because an issue after hard drive manufacturers started trying to oversell disk capacity by changing the meaning of MB and GB.

My understand was that this is supposed to be configurable somewhere that way we can get the "correct" units for either value of "correct". (I'm a MB guy myself)
