From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
quantifiers   In techspeak and jargon, the standard metric    prefixes used in the SI (Syste`me International) conventions for    scientific measurement have dual uses.   With units of time or things    that come in powers of 10, such as money, they retain their usual    meanings of multiplication by powers of 1000 = 10^3.   But when used    with bytes or other things that naturally come in powers of 2, they    usually denote multiplication by powers of 1024 = 2^(10).          Here are the SI magnifying prefixes, along with the corresponding    binary interpretations in common use:          prefix   decimal   binary       kilo-   1000^1   1024^1 = 2^10 = 1,024          mega-   1000^2   1024^2 = 2^20 = 1,048,576          giga-   1000^3   1024^3 = 2^30 = 1,073,741,824          tera-   1000^4   1024^4 = 2^40 = 1,099,511,627,776          peta-   1000^5   1024^5 = 2^50 = 1,125,899,906,842,624          exa-      1000^6   1024^6 = 2^60 = 1,152,921,504,606,846,976          zetta-   1000^7   1024^7 = 2^70 = 1,180,591,620,717,411,303,424          yotta-   1000^8   1024^8 = 2^80 = 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176          Here are the SI fractional prefixes:          _prefix   decimal      jargon usage_       milli-   1000^-1      (seldom used in jargon)       micro-   1000^-2      small or human-scale (see {micro-})       nano-   1000^-3      even smaller (see {nano-})       pico-   1000^-4      even smaller yet (see {pico-})       femto-   1000^-5      (not used in jargon---yet)       atto-   1000^-6      (not used in jargon---yet)       zepto-   1000^-7      (not used in jargon---yet)       yocto-   1000^-8      (not used in jargon---yet)       The prefixes zetta-, yotta-, zepto-, and yocto- have been included    in these tables purely for completeness and giggle value; they were    adopted in 1990 by the `19th Conference Generale des Poids et    Mesures'.   The binary peta- and exa- loadings, though well    established, are not in jargon use either -- yet.   The prefix    milli-, denoting multiplication by 1/1000, has always been rare in    jargon (there is, however, a standard joke about the `millihelen' --    notionally, the amount of beauty required to launch one ship).   See    the entries on {micro-}, {pico-}, and {nano-} for more information    on connotative jargon use of these terms.   `Femto' and `atto'    (which, interestingly, derive not from Greek but from Danish) have    not yet acquired jargon loadings, though it is easy to predict what    those will be once computing technology enters the required realms    of magnitude (however, see {attoparsec}).          There are, of course, some standard unit prefixes for powers of    10.   In the following table, the `prefix' column is the    international standard suffix for the appropriate power of ten; the    `binary' column lists jargon abbreviations and words for the    corresponding power of 2.   The B-suffixed forms are commonly used    for byte quantities; the words `meg' and `gig' are nouns that may    (but do not always) pluralize with `s'.          prefix   decimal   binary         pronunciation       kilo-         k         K, KB,         /kay/       mega-         M         M, MB, meg   /meg/       giga-         G         G, GB, gig   /gig/,/jig/       Confusingly, hackers often use K or M as though they were suffix or    numeric multipliers rather than a prefix; thus "2K dollars", "2M of    disk space".   This is also true (though less commonly) of G.          Note that the formal SI metric prefix for 1000 is `k'; some use    this strictly, reserving `K' for multiplication by 1024 (KB is thus    `kilobytes').          K, M, and G used alone refer to quantities of bytes; thus, 64G is    64 gigabytes and `a K' is a kilobyte (compare mainstream use of `a    G' as short for `a grand', that is, $1000).   Whether one pronounces    `gig' with hard or soft `g' depends on what one thinks the proper    pronunciation of `giga-' is.          Confusing 1000 and 1024 (or other powers of 2 and 10 close in    magnitude) -- for example, describing a memory in units of 500K or    524K instead of 512K -- is a sure sign of the {marketroid}.   One    example of this: it is common to refer to the capacity of 3.5"    {microfloppies} as `1.44 MB' In fact, this is a completely {bogus}    number.   The correct size is 1440 KB, that is, 1440 * 1024 = 1474560    bytes.   So the `mega' in `1.44 MB' is compounded of two `kilos', one    of which is 1024 and the other of which is 1000.   The correct number    of megabytes would of course be 1440 / 1024 = 1.40625.   Alas, this    fine point is probably lost on the world forever.          [1993 update: hacker Morgan Burke has proposed, to general    approval on Usenet, the following additional prefixes:       groucho       10^(-30)       harpo       10^(-27)       harpi       10^(27)       grouchi       10^(30)       We observe that this would leave the prefixes zeppo-, gummo-, and    chico- available for future expansion.   Sadly, there is little    immediate prospect that Mr. Burke's eminently sensible proposal will    be ratified.]          [1999 upate: there is an IEC proposal    (ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/pub/doc/ISO/information-units)    for binary multipliers, but no evidence that any of its proposals    are in live use.]
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
quantifier          An operator in {predicate logic} specifying for which       values of a variable a formula is true.   Universally       quantified means "for all values" (written with an inverted A,       {LaTeX} \forall) and existentially quantified means "there       exists some value" (written with a reversed E, {LaTeX}       \exists).   To be unambiguous, the set to which the values of       the variable belong should be specified, though this is often       omitted when it is clear from the context (the "universe of       discourse").   E.g.          Forall x . P(x)   <=>   not (Exists x . not P(x))          meaning that any x (in some unspecified set) has property P       which is equivalent to saying that there does not exist any x       which does not have the property.          If a variable is not quantified then it is a {free variable}.       In {logic programming} this usually means that it is actually       universally quantified.          See also {first order logic}.          (2002-05-21)
