It's like knowing multiple languages, or multiple cultures, or multiple cuisines. You can see how different things got made in ways different ways. It also encourages to find out interesting things about the operating systems you are already familiar with, and gives new ideas when solving problems.
I always try to expand my knowledge and keep an open mind, knowing that there are many interesting things out there.
I don't remember if it actually was MS-DOS 3 or 4. It was on a 5¼" floppy. Eventually the computer's keyboard broke and since it was old, nobody produced them anymore. The computer had two floppy drives and I had it from when I was 2.
You can use the ubuntu brainstorm thingy to suggest things like that. If it sounds nice, people will vote it up and it will be integrated into the next release.
I say knowing several operating systems is better than knowing just one. In my life I used MS-DOS 3, Windows 3.1 for workgroups, AmigaOS, Windows 98 SE, Windows XP, BeOS, SuSE 9.1, OpenSuSE, and right now I'm using Xubuntu 9.04 (starting from version 6.10). I ran ReactOS from a livecd. I also emulate Haiku, Slackware, Debian and ReactOS. I'm 15 years old, and certainly going to try more operating systems in the future.
Fullscreen window might work on my puny 15" 1024x768 screen, but on all these new high-resolution widescreens most webpages consist of empty space if you do that. In that case it is often better to have two browser windows side by side.
I prefer my tabs on the top, and if Mozilla ever changes that without giving me a choice to keep my tabs I will seriously change the browser. With tabs I can just move my laptop's mouse up and click. The distance is smaller than having the tabs on the side, and on my laptop it's easier to move the mouse up and down rather than sideways (it has only a Pointing stick).
Bah, I always say that the level cap should be 255 but the game made so that it's too hard to go past level 99, and only one person actually manages to get to level 99.

On Linux? I'm not adding an additional layer by using Wine, and it lacks some of my very important extensions.

the word
I regularly store dumps of /dev/urandom. They certainly are normally present.
More strangely, there is no atl_installevilstuff.c. The updater also seems to download a strange binary file from Google...
No wonder you got cancer.
Everything can run Linux. The problem with birds that aren't penguins running Linux is that they turn into penguins. No fix has been found.

The problem is that most of the population don't even know, and will continue to buy the music.
Maybe because they're not biologists.
Google pays Mozilla for being the default search engine. Since Mozilla is a non-profit organisation, nobody at Mozilla actually gets any of it.
Another analogy, squares are a subset of rectangles, but not every rectangle is a square.
Not scientists, university students.
In Firefox it's called Smart Bookmarks->Most Visited. And no porn sites there for me.
The fair thing is only to DoS them back straight away next time you end up playing against them.
Do you think IE6 is any better?
Indeed, they are known to secretly run FreeBSD and to use Macs.
Damn.
I removed my account before the TOS changed. Thank god.
It would mean that the Wine team win.
You're talking about what Linux was like 6 years ago. Now it's no harder than Windows.
