Yes, but the name has changed. 1024 Bytes is now one kibibyte, abbreviated 1 KiB. And 1 KB is now exactly 1000 bytes, following the same rule as for any other unit of measurement (SI).
I know. But apart from the fact that AFAIK the USA do not follow SI. That KiB/KB mess was created by people with no knowledge of the computer environment. KB has stood for 1024 bytes for decades before some beaurocrats went wild and thought that they would have to regulate things that really needn't. It's like here in Germany some folks demanding to ban all sizes in inch and always use SI units which would be ridiculous for e.g. CRT/LC screens.
