- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

You can go here [nh.gov] and input your choice to see if it is available. (Select the first option in both dropdowns)
Amusingly, and predictably, "&" shows up as just a "&", so I could not test the availability on that one.

I tried to get NULL, NUL, and a couple of others here in Ontario and they were taken. Guess I need to check now. I wanted NULL because I've frequently seen string values of this break the code of people who don't understand that it's a special value (generally VB, PHP, etc).
(Score: 2) by jackb_guppy on Tuesday May 13 2014, @04:20PM
You are using both NUL and NULL. One is character (NUL, x00, /0, *NULL depending on programming language), the other is vartype (like string or datetime).
So which one breaks your VB code? Or actually it's interaction with SQL databases.

See, I111II1 is a great plan, except for the matter of license plate scanners. Luckily, if you install IR LED's around the plate, you should effectively obscure the plate from the cameras without actually breaking any laws (or, for bonus points, be the reason the new ones get written).
New Hampshire cops don't really need any extra reasons to pull you over though...especially in Amherst, where they consider doing 30 in a 25 to be akin to slaughtering innocent children while publicly masturbating with the other hand and drinking Coors Light (which should be a crime in itself...) out of a beer hat. Might not be the worst idea to get a "Fraternal Order of Police" bumper sticker, along with an NRA sticker to keep it company. THEN you can get to thinking about the "My other car is /bin/bash" or "I'd rather be editing configuration files".
