If you use Mozilla, you might have discovered the "feature" in Mozilla which
e.g. decides that when you say you want to go to a URL like
"localhost:1234", that you really mean "http://www.localhost.net.au/";.  

You can turn this behaviour off by going to the URL "about:config", finding
the "keyword.enabled" setting, and setting it to "false".  (Some Mozilla
derivatives might have a proper UI setting for "Enable Internet Keywords" or
something like that, but this should work equally well for Mozilla,
Firebird, and other variants.)

I'm posting this here because an off-hand mention of it on #slug made
several people very happy :)
