If the browser isn't smart enough to realize that "tech.slashdot.org" is not the ASCII decimal representation of an integer betweeen 0 and 65535, then your problem isn't related to the URL nomenclature at all...

Submission + - twIP - an IP Stack in a Tweet (www.sics.se)

Although twIP is very far away from a real IP stack, it can do the first task of any IP stack: respond to pings. The entire source code can be found in this 128 characters long tweet. For those who are interested in low-level network programming, a code walkthrough with instructions on how to run the code under FreeBSD is available here. The FAQ: Q: why? A: for fun."

Yeah. This would be really cool and interesting, but without the source code its pretty much impossible for me to gain any technical insight.
