Re: Double Dipthong
I agree, I didn't pay a penny for my M3 licence, just like I didn't pay a
penny for my CB licence. They are not the same though, they're on seperate bits of paper and the M3 had a multiple choice exam (if you can call that an exam). I wreckon my mum could pass the M3 by guessing the answers (no doubt that's how most people pass it).

Re: Double Dipthong
Job at McDonalds.. nothing wrong with working there when you're a student,
or have you never been a student? They offer flexible hours and £5 an hour pay. Safeways is pretty much the same. Used to work along side a guy doing a degree in Civil Engineering, he was stacking shelves for extra cash. Yeah can you use 'btw', only reason why i commented is becasue you didn't use the '@' sign properly, making yourself seem more of a tosser than you really are.

That is a way of looking at it in detail, however in a general way when the software detects one of these special charaters it performs a specific task using a subroutine to do so. Something along the lines IF( character = ".", THEN domain = CHARACTER+1, ELSE carry on .... The special characters innitiate specific actions and may be labeled commands. >separates subdomains from TLDs. >Some mail servers such as postfix > also accept % as the delimiter in certain configurations, so the address > takes the form user%foo.bar.
