Do you type 'http://' when typing an address..

[Kalmah]

I'm curious since I notice most people around me don't. I just do it out of habbit.

*fixed mistake in title*

 

[Scouzer]

No.

 

[shortylickens]

No I type http:// then the address. 😉

 

[loup garou]

no, but sometimes I type http://

Or https://
Of ftp://

 

[maximus maximus]

nope

 

[imported_LoKe]

Nope; I type rocksalt:// instead.

 

[compnovice]

not me....

 

[torpid]

I never, ever type http:

Once in a while I type http:// because it is a URL on a different port than 80

 

[chorb]

i usually dont even type in the www either, saves the .4 seconds for more pr0n

 

[shortylickens]

DAMN!

5 of us nailed the poor bastard at the same time. 😀

 

[Ika]

http://

^ is what I do.

I usually don't type it though.

that .4 seconds is sometimes the difference between being able to get your pants zipped up vs an awkward dinner with mom and dad.

 

[PinmasterJay]

I never type http:\\, but I also never type http://

 

[Pastore]

Ctrl + Enter for the win

 

[Trikat]

I even leave out the www.

the www is there for a reason. use it.

 

[Ika]

I never type www.anandtech.com, always forums.anandtech.com

 

[notfred]

I don't use shortcuts or the start menu either. I start all my programs from the command line. Start -> Run and then type "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe"

Then when firefox opens I type "http://forums.anandtech.com/categories.aspx?catid=38" because I love typing things unnecessarily.

What's the reason? Stop making things up.

 

[BobDaMenkey]

Ctrl + Enter. But as others have said, on the rare ocasion I've used http://, however I've never seen http:\\

It's actually annoying, because if you're using a subdomain, you can't use it. ex: www.forums.anandtech.com wouldn't work. It's like a placeholder.

It's so much work to redirect people to www.blah.com, right? 😛
