I've been fiddling on the 'net since windows 95 so I guess the habit of typing out the entire addy is.... well... habit. And its not like three more letters and a dot is really slowing me down that much anyway.
If its a link I have in my history then I will just type the first couple letters of the name of the site and click it out of my history.
...and I didn't know you could hit ctl+enter to get the .com either, so thats cool to know though

I'm used to not using a mouse, so I shortcut to the url bar (ctrl + L), then type in the info and use shift + enter for [www . . net], ctrl + enter for [www . . com], and shift+ctrl+enter for [www . . org].
www isn't necessary, most of the time, unless you have some terrible hosting. Using without the [www .] should point to the same place that [www .] would point to (unless you're sharing a domain or something). [www .] is just a subdomain that is commonly used. It would be like on livejournal, your account denotes the subdomain. [www . livejournal .com] or [livejournal. com] go to the home page, but [username . livejournal . com] would go to the username'* page, and [www . username .livejournal . com] would go nowhere.
tl;dr: www shouldn't be necessary in most cases, unless there is a weird circumstance.

Never, unless it was from text I copy.
You don't have a site setup as your homepage? I'm disappointed.
