“NULL” license plate ends up backfiring

BoingBoing.net:

California security researcher Droogie came up with what seemed like a good way to avoid having to pay any parking tickets issued to his vehicle: He ordered a vanity license plate emblazoned with “NULL,” expecting that (like in this xkcd comic) when the ticket was entered into the the DMV database, it would consider the “NULL” entry to be “the special marker used in Structured Query Language to indicate that a data value does not exist in the database.” But that’s not quite the way things went.

    Be well all!
