Personally, I'd much prefer to simply use separator characters
like this:

-rw-------  1 olli  olli  211,602,776  Nov 28 23:09 S1E1.mpg

This makes it very easy to recognize the size, and you still
have the exact number of bytes, not rounded.  It's even
possible to to respect the locale setting (LC_NUMERIC) and
use the appropriate character as separator.

Just my 0.02 Euro.

Regards
   Oliver
