Do UI folks today have trouble with:
domain.com
domain.pl
domain.ps
domain.sh
etc.?
Is there an application that treats a local file specifier and a host
specifier indistinguishably? If so, how does it deal with strings
(like those I listed above) that could potentially be executables as
well as domain names?
Thanks,
