    I can't read Japanese, but with that question mark, it's obviously a question. My guess to the translation: "These Gaijin think I look like a ninja?" M'kay?

    K

    (Was I the one that suggested to put a "k" in every post?)

    Are "C"s allowed to be exchanged with "K"s?

    I thought it was good and have been racKing my brain ever since to try to remember the original non-sans-k version.

    Don't feel bad, no one commented on my "Jelly?" response either, but it is probably best so.

    What does that have to do with "K"? Has this turned into the unofficial Free Word Association Part Three?

    K is the symbol for a thousand, often rounded to 1024 in binary.

    2^10 bytes = 1024 bytes, called a Kilobyte by computer folks, or a "K" for short.

    For the record, 2^20 = 1048576 bytes, called a Megabyte, or a Meg. 2^30 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, known to most people as a Gigabyte or a Gig.

    Know, of kourse knot. This is K word. I have a penchant for P words, personally, but K words kan be kinda kewl and funky too.

    K kould mean 1024, but for those of us who like metrik, it means 1000, too. Kilogram, kilometre, killa 'nother few muskeetos...
