No it would not . You are confusing bits with bytes , and even still , your math with bits is wrong . As long as the number of bytes is an integer , you will lose absolutely no data . If a kiloBIT was 1000 bits , you would lose 3 bytes compared to 1024 bits . Either way , you end up with a whole number of bytes and lose no data whatsoever . As long as the number of bits is a multiple of 8 , you will get a whole number of bytes with no data loss . <| sep |> You know you could just say I kind of like Nazis ! And get it over with . Stop fluffing and get to the main course . <| sep |> do it for the culture , caitlin <| sep |> I totally agree . They need more texture to the game . They need trading and battling other players and what not . Wager coins or items over a fight . Maybe even some NPC gyms for training up specific pokemon or for getting a big cache of balls all at once . once per day ? Smarter people than me I am sure have great ideas for making it a better game . Even just some repeating quests with rewards would be cool .
