Bell Labs fires Hendrik Schon for Data Falsification
Raiford writes "Bell Labs has fired physicist Hendrik Schon for falsifying scientific data. Schon was thought to be a likely candidate for the Nobel prize based on the promise his reported research findings had for the advancement of molecular scale computing. In a Reuters report the dismissal was described as the only conclusive case of scientific misconduct ever identified in the history of the prestigious laboratory."
fired
this story is a repost. can't /. editors check their old stories? is a search so fucking hard?
118.
Can't you read? from the 1-down-118-to-go dept.
checks and balances huh. good thing companies are working desperately to keep that bullshit out of computer security!
"Old man yells at systemd"
YHBT! YHL! HAND!
but what about the submitters who read about Google and /. now being indundated with submission sluts happily submitting from their newfound well of articles? I'm putting my money on them. :P
"Old man yells at systemd"
The Rendezvous story on Google now has Slashdot as the top article, which of course, is amusing in it's own right, since the Slashdot story is a pointer to the PR Newswire story.
/.'s "news" is going to be. I mean, /. isn't groundbreaking journalism and exclusives. It's links to other people's stories for God's sake, but the hit-refresh-for-a-new-story crowd is going to find they've read all the "news" on Google already.
The more advanced Google's news page becomes, the less useful
While we're on this topic, we shouldn't forget the founder of Bell Labs... Alexander Graham Bell. When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, it was an invention that transformed the world forever.
What we also know is that the telephone led to the development of the radio. A lot of us here on Slashdot have grown up on the radio. Now, radio in its latest (and coolest) incarnation, Internet Radio, is threatened by the RIAA. How sad it is that such a remarkable invention is being put aside because of money and profits.
But we can do something to reverse this. You can send a fax to Congress about the Internet Radio Fairness Act, which aims to save Internet Radio. You can send the fax and read more about the Act at Voice of Webcasters.
1) Falisify scientific data
2) Win Nobel Prize
3) ???
4) Profit!
maybe if white people would get off their fat asses and do some real work for a change, they wouldn't be hiring illegal immigrants for two and change.
they do the work we're too fucking lazy to do.
Hey Taco! Looks like you're using the "infinite monkeys and typewriters" scheme to generate Ask Slashdots again...
Well, your post was completely pointless.
Offtopic my ass. This is a statement from someone who worked there who is giving testimony to what may have caused this.
Your very existence is pointless, dickslap.
You WASTED TIME to tell me that. Jesus. Go fuck your cat.

Wonder if he will be remembered as the "Enron" of the scientific community?

I've been trying to translate your sig, but I admit that my latin training is quite rusty. However, I'm reading it as:

Am I right? This is with the aid of an online dictionary, and my vague knowledge of declensions.
don't forget the punching out of the man's tophat, there's nothing more shameful than a tophat with the top punched out...
