just stop it already.

In thoses instantces they truly are subdomains, conatinaining of course...HOSTS. and another novel concept....more subdomains.

> smtp.mail.yahoo.com.
Server: not shown
Address: not shown

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: smtp.plus.mail.yahoo4.akadns.net
Address: 206.190.39.186
Aliases: smtp.mail.yahoo.com, smtp.plus.mail.yahoo.com

So forums is a subdomain, in this case. Correct?

*sigh*... if you look at the wikipedia entry for hostname, you'll see it uses en from en.wikipedia.org as an example as well.

From Wikipedia:

(GNU distinguish between 'hostname' and 'host name': from the DNS perspective, host name is the FQDN (fully qualified domain name). FQDN consists of a hostname, then a period, then a domain name. GNU gives an example: chicken.ai.mit.edu. chicken is the hostname, ai.mit.edu is the domain name, chicken.ai.mit.edu is the host name aka FQDN.)

(In that example, ai is a subdomain)

Well, Mugs, if that means I'm wrong, then I'm sorry. Siggified.

It's kind of ambiguous, and both terms are used frequently. We're both right in a way. I'm just pedantic and I like my way.

Not only do I type "http://", I type the trailing slash to represent the root directory.

Same with me in firefox.

Last time I typed HTTP was like 10 years ago. Now a days I don't even type "www" or ".com", "Anandtech" is all I need to get here(though I don't need to because it's my homepage).

Need to add ".org or .net" if the address requires, but all the pre-fix crap is handled by Mozilla.

 

[rh71]

just type the domain...

anandtech <enter> since opera handles the rest (tools --> prefs --> advanced --> network --> server name completion)

 

[imported_Phil]

Noobs type the full address.

 

[olds]

No. On IE and FF I just type the name and then hold control then hit enter for .com
Shift, enter for .net

FTW.

Surprising how many people don't know this.

 

[daniel49]

yes, but most of the time its a site I have already visited so I just use favorites or dropdown on url box.

 

[fLum0x]

i type "for" and then it is the first thing in the list and i hit the down arrow and enter. shrug.

 

[Fritzo]

I just type the middle part and hit ctrl-enter to add the www and the .com part
