New Ubuntu and binary
Good news,
The 10.10 release of Ubuntu will increase all kind of stats, network speed, hard disk size and so on. And no one need to do any kernel magic for that 
What i am talking about is that 10.10 will have finally implemented the binary norm from 1998 and now there is a difference between 1000MB and 1024MB so only fields where it is really necessary like counting the memory it will be kept in binary counting. All human readable values like hard disk, network bandwidth and so on will be counted in 10 system. To make that clear 1MB will be in the future 1000kB, and in binary counting 1MiB will be 1024KiB so the ‘i’ is the new part the signalize binary counting. That should make calculating much more easy and help the USB-Stick sellers to finally have the right size for free 
(previous 1G stick was 931MB) now a 1G stick will have exact 1000MB ^^
