K == 1024 while k == kilo == 1000. K == 1024 is a common extention to the SI prefixes. Besides, K isn't an SI prefix, but rather a unit of measure. After all, m == milli for a prefix, but meter for a suffix. They are two different name spaces. One nit that annoys me is that people aren't always careful with kb/s and kB/s for kilo-bits per second and kilo-bytes per second respectively.
