I too read that way. I scan through a couple of lines at a time both up and down and forward and backward. If you tracked my eyes you would see them wiggling all over the place while I read. I can read very quickly without trying hard. In fact it is harder for me to read slowly.
My lifetime best was 1200 wpm, back when my eyesight was excellent. One trick for reading slowly is to stop after each page and precis the contents in your head. This also improves retention, though remembering the content of some books is not an advantage.
"You could have two robots building their own maps," he says, "which then share them when they meet." This will allow a robot to make predictions based on data collected by its teammate.
Sounds like the algorithm most Slashdotters use to avoid needing to RTFA.

The biggest problem here is that solar panels are very expensive. You need a LOT to cover your usage unless you have also done MAJOR energy usage reduction efforts such as LED bulbs, better insulation, appliances, etc. If you don't take all those measures, the panel's don't make sense financially.
Unfortunately, whatever energy reduction measures you take, it will not make sense to buy expensive solar panels. My neighbour spent $40K and saves almost nothing. Plant some fruit trees to give shade/reduce wind-chill, donate half the remaining money to a charity that stops pollution in the third world, and use the other half to buy solar in five years time when it's cheap.

Those bastards who run our office block keep ringing the fire alarm every month, and there's never a real fire just a practice, so the sooner I can sue them the better. Same for those morons who display "fog" warnings on the freeway when there's no fog.
AACS has confirmed that an additional key (called a "processing key") has been published on public websites without authorization. This is a variation of the previously reported attack
"Attack"? (They use this word repeatedly.) What planet are these guys on that re-publishing a number which is already in the public domain counts as an attack? I guess this means journalists are terrorists and the noble AACS are the moral equivalent of American troops.
The AACS Founding members IBM, INTEL, MICROSOFT, PANASONIC, SONY, TOSHIBA, WALT DISNEY and WARNER BROS should be ashamed.
Yes - please report it. I work for a large email company and we always act on spam complaints, to ourselves or to our ISP. I hate spammers too, because they are not why we wrote the system and they cost us money, so we'll kick them out.
No - e.g image spam - why bother? It's probably from an illegal botnet, criminals are not noted for customer service, and any server will be on a short-term contract.
Only brief full-body exposures to bright summer sunshine -- of 10 or 15 minutes a day -- are needed to make high amounts of the vitamin. But most authorities, including Health Canada, have urged a total avoidance of strong sunlight or, alternatively, heavy use of sunscreen. Both recommendations will block almost all vitamin D synthesis.
Those studying the vitamin say the hide-from-sunlight advice has amounted to the health equivalent of a foolish poker trade. Anyone practising sun avoidance has traded the benefit of a reduced risk of skin cancer -- which is easy to detect and treat and seldom fatal -- for an increased risk of the scary, high-body-count cancers, such as breast, prostate and colon, that appear linked to vitamin D shortages [my highlights].
The sun advice has been misguided information "of just breathtaking proportions," said John Cannell, head of the Vitamin D Council, a non-profit, California-based organization.
Our modern diet is very different from what we evolved to eat. Better in some ways - few Westerners starve - but probably lower in many micronutrients than the ideal. So this type of report is not a surprise. Expect more.
I realise that comment wasn't quite clear. Basically my point is that you only have "possession of the key" if you can type the key with the rhythm necessary to meet this authentication method. Over time, for example if you're in prison without access to the Internet and get out of practice, your typing pattern will change and you'll no longer have "possession of the key".

No evidence against man in child porn inquiry who 'killed himself' The inquest into his death heard that computer equipment and a camera memory chip belonging to Commodore White had yielded no evidence that he downloaded child pornography, and a letter was written by Ministry of Defence police to Naval Command on 5 January this year indicating that there were "no substantive criminal offences" to warrant pressing charges. But the Second Sea Lord, Sir James Burnell-Nugent, feared that the media would report the case and on 7 January removed him from his post anyway... the commodore was dead the next day.
In one case at Hull Crown Court last year, a distinguished hospital consultant was acquitted after it emerged that hackers had used his credit card on Landslide. The judge dismissed some police evidence as "utter nonsense".
Whenever you see the RIAA whining about how Piracy/IP Theft/Copyright Theft etc. is a major crime, remember this list. Piracy is not even in the top ten.

Fixed it for you. The Chinese Yuan has changed about 8% vs USD over 5 years - graph - and Chinese prices are way lower.
