A Test
August 7th, 2012
|
If you see this post correctly and it does not contain a weird letter A with a tilda over it then that’s a good thing. It means that I do not have to go mess with the databases and chance the character encoding. I do not want to have to do that, especially since one site said it “can be a nightmare to fix” and because I’m not super experienced in this flavor of SQL. So lets see.

I’m sorry. I don’t have any time to fix this and I can’t seem to delete them. I’ll fix it when I can. You will just have to deal with it.
Somehow by removing them from the old posts I managed to add them to the new ones? I don’t have any idea how this happened and I’m sorry. There’s no easy way to edit them out. They don’t show up in the editor.
I’ve got a political campaign going on and my sister is getting married this weekend. I just don’t have the time right now, but I promise I’ll find a solution

Ok crap. Now the old posts don’t seem to work out right. I think I have an idea to fix this. Bear with me…

I’m not seeing any weird stuff in this post, but some of the older ones now contain a black diamond with a white question mark inside. (I’m using Firefox btw)

Older stuff still has strange characters though also now added the unknown character symbol.
Stuff created since the restore just has the unknown character symbol seemingly randomly scattered through the text.

Yerah… I figured out a way to fix old posts and make new ones get messed up… or fix new ones and have old ones get messed up >:-(
Take your pick! They seem to have updated the version of unicode used or something

That makes no sense whatsoever. The various UTF formats don’t tend to be messed with (and I doubt there’d be a single symbol from outside the BMP).

Looks good in Internet Explorer 7 as well. (Yeah, I’m out of the loop.)

I may be as thick as the complete works of Dickens in large print but what is a ’tilda’?
I googled it but only got a wiki reference to an actress!

Try tilde, the correct spelling.

Yes, getting utf-8 right in a formerly latin-1 world is a world of hurt. I’ve had to do it for a number of clients already. If only everyone would just use ASCII… I mean, it was good enough for Jesus in the New Testament… it should be good enough for all of us!

I think there could be a valid argument here that if the US is going to peruse this method of enrichment then it makes it impossible to diplomatically say that others can’t such as the UK or Japan or whomever.
If the US does not then it can pressure others not to and hopefully stop all other major industrial countries from doing it.
That way a non-nuclear power would not be able to copy it and would have to design it from scratch. That would be harder.
I agree we failed to stop centrifuges from getting out there. Now look at Iran as an example and also North Korea. I do not believe that they have the means to completely have built centrifuge separation if nobody ever did before. They didn’t need to invent it we did for them. They already had a proven design to copy.
Just look at the world and you’ll see pretty quickly that non-proliferation has not been getting enough attention or commitment. We reap what we sew. The world has had only a half-hearted commitment to non proliferation and disarmament efforts and it’s clearly not enough. Disarmament does have to start at home.
