"For what treatment is there of the most shameful or grievous sort that we have not suffered since these men made their appearance in Britain? Have we not been robbed entirely of most of our greatest possessions, while for those that remain we pay taxes? Besides pasturing & tilling for them all our other possessions, do we not pay yearly tribute for our very bodies? How much better it would be to have been sold to masters once & for all than possessing empty titles of freedom, to have to ransom ourselves every year? How much better to have been slain than to go about with a tax on our heads!" --- Boadicea (quoted in Dio Cassius _Roman History_; quoted in Charles Adams 1993 _For Good & Evil_)

Except that computer people use 2 as a base raised to multiples of powers of 10, instead of 10 raised to multiples of powers of 3 because powers of 2 are handier for them, but they also want to stay somewhat close to the values of 10 most folks are used to.
