lionkingcmslYes, I'm still alive. It's just that life, in general has taken me in new directions.
Now for a question for those that know such things: What comes after tera, as in terabyte?
We have deca for ten: decade; cent for hundred: century; kilo for thousand: kilobyte; mega for million: megabyte; giga for billion (1,000,000,000): gigabyte; and tera for trillion (1,000,000,000,000): terabyte. So what's next?
"Tetra" is used for four: tetrahedron, a four sided solid, used in gaming as the d4. So would the next in series be "tetrabyte"?
