Fun fact: It's currently law that you can have the <> and "" characters in your name.

What's really fun is many companies' forms don't allow for companies to have any punctuation in their name.


I think I'd excited that as Schedule 1 of this Act doesn't exclude those characters.

For example you can use the characters w,i,n,d,s,o,r but catenated in an ordered string means you have to get special permission.

Arguably the attempt to register this was an attempt to breech the Computer Misuse Act (which would make it illegal).


It’s been 13 years since the Bobby Tables comic was drawn, has nobody actually tried it yet?



What I mean is, has nobody named their child after an SQL injection payload?


LOL!
