It is important to realize that not all manufacturers and developers use binary base 2. For example, a manufacturer may list a product's capacity as one gigabyte (1,000,000,000 bytes, a metric value) and not 1,073,741,824 bytes (gibibyte) that it actually is.

The word tepui means house of the gods in the native tongue of the Pemon, the indigenous people who inhabit the Gran Sabana.he precipitous mountains tower over the surrounding area by up to 1,000 meters. Tepuis range in elevation from 1,000â3,000 metres (3,300â9,800 ft). Because of their great age, some tepuis exhibit surface features and subsurface caves typical of karst topography, formed in more water-soluble rocks such as limestone.
To get a feel for the sheer scale of the tepuis, the Pixar team visited 3 of the most famous tepui: Mount Roraima, next-door Kukenan, and Auyantepui. At the eastern end of the Canaima National Park, Mount Roraima lies on the intersection of 3 country borders: Brazil, Guyana, and Venezuela. At 2810m tall, it is the tallest of the tepuis and the most famous, having inspired Doyleâs The Lost World.
