How to View .chm Files in Ubuntu
Admin - October 2nd
Last night I start organize my ebook folder, so I find some ebooks in Microsoft .chm (Compiled HTML) format. Normally ubuntu dose not open the .chm file, so I start investigation for founding a solution for how to open the .chm file in ubuntu.
I found many tools for viewing .chm file in ubuntu and all of that available within the Ubuntu repositories.
Servo Mechanisms
Leila - October 1st
Servo-mechanisms are divided into two general types:
1. where the target, goal, or "answer" is known, and the objective is to reach it or accomplish it
2. where the target or "answer" is not known and the objective is to discover or locate it
Use Semicolons Correctly
Leila - September 29th
Use a semicolon instead of a coordinate conjunction such as and, or, or but to link two closely related independent clauses.
- INCORRECT: Whooping cranes are an endangered species; and they are unlikely to survive if we continue to pollute.
- CORRECT: Whooping cranes are an endangered species, and they are unlikely to survive if we continue to pollute.
Use a semicolon between independent clauses connected by words like therefore, nevertheless, and moreover.
Discovering Your Success Mechanism
Leila - September 27th
When "YOU" select the goal and trigger it into action, an automatic mechanism takes over. First of all, you have picked up cigarettes, or performed similar movements before. Your automatic mechanism has "learned" something of the correct response needed. Next, your automatic mechanism uses feedback data furnished to the brain by your eyes, which tells it "the degree to which the cigarettes are not picked up." This feedback data enables the automatic mechanism to continually correct the motion of your hand, until it is steered to the cigarettes.
Use Commas Correctly
Leila - September 25th
Use commas to separate items in a series. If more than two items are listed in a series, they should be separated by commas. The final comma the-the one that precedes the word and-is optional (but be consistent throughout your essays).
Cybernetics
Leila - September 23rd
You are not a machine.
But new discoveries in the science of Cybernetics all point to the conclusion that your physical brain and nervous system make up a servo-mechanism which "You" use, and which operates very much like an electronic computer, and a mechanical goal-seeking device. Your brain and nervous system constitute a goal-striving mechanism which operates automatically to achieve a certain goal, very much as a self-aiming torpedo or missile seeks out its target and steers its way to it. Your built-in servo-mechanism functions both as a "guidance system" to automatically steer you in the right direction to achieve certain goals, or make correct responses to environment, and also as an "electronic brain" which can function automatically to solve problems, give you needed answers, and provide new ideas or "inspirations."
