"Fraud is in FACT not science" But scientist can commit fraud. And when you say, well when the scientist commits fraud isn't really doing science, you are falling into the Scottsman fallacy.
If you say: scientists don't commit afraid, and I say that scientist did, and you say well she's not doing science because she commited fraud. That's a Scottsman fallacy. You can do science AND lie about the results.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No True Scotsman
This fallacy is a form of circular reasoning, in that it attempts to include a conclusion about something in the very definition of the word itself. It is therefore also a semantic argument.
The term comes from the example: If Ian claims that all Scotsman are brave, and you provide a counter example of a Scotsman who is clearly a coward, Ian might respond, “Well, then, he’s no true Scotsman.” In essence Ian claims that all Scotsman are brave by including bravery in the definition of what it is to be a Scotsman. This argument does not establish any facts or new information, and is limited to Ian’s definition of the word, “Scotsman.”
and since you mentioned it: Slippery Slope
This logical fallacy is the argument that a position is not consistent or tenable because accepting the position means that the extreme of the position must also be accepted. But moderate positions do not necessarily lead down the slippery slope to the extreme.
See, it's weak thinkers like you self that get caught up in conspiracy nonsense and the spread it like a plague.
"A method of creating pluripotent stem cells like this could seriously derail research already underway"
So? that happens in science pretty often.
" and redundant if it were true" nope. Just becasue they found one way, it would be years before it could be practical, and other avenues of research could also reveal better results.
You overlook the much more money, and many more people, who would benefit and profit from this.
" After all, who needs an expensive, complex (and patented) method of creating stem cells when a cheap and easy solution produces similar (or superior) results?" every other company, person,country that doesn't hold the patent.
If you have an expensive patent, why would I cover up research that would mean I could stop paying you money for licensing?
ST is communist. Once you have the technology that provides pretty much whatever you need, then Communist is the only choice. Free food and materials, so you really don't need any money.
then you know Fluke has trademarked those colors. It is on par with a car company selling a new car called a 'Mustang' and then saying they didn't know there was a 'Mustang', and it's unfair becasue they can't know every trademark law.
Is this the smartest way to handle it? no. If Fluke wanted to look like some awesome hero's, they would make a move to allow them into the country under the agreement that Sparkfun changes the color schemes once in the US.
True, but I don't consider Java Neglected code, It poorly maintained and tested. The whole point of Java is so you can upgrade the interpreter and not need to recompile or rewrite all your code. That;'s it's selling point. At this rate, we might as well go back to writing websites in C.
You heard me.

Some did that, others built cities and farmed. Not that either was in some kind of mythical 'balance' but the native peoples where a very wide variety of culture types.
Don't understand cuteness as an evolutionary survival trait. I mean if cats weren't seen as cute, no one would have them becasue they are assholes. Also, usefulness. Oh, and tasty is turning into a survival strategy because people will breed them for eating.
" The population of the Americas dropped by 80% or more due to diseases introduced by contact with the Europeans" actually we do not know if it was caused with European contact.
The largest population drop happened between observational visits, and in areas far removed for where the few Europeans had appeared. When the Europeans did arrive, they found empty cities and farm land. Could it have been European disease? yes, but we really don't know about that period. It could just as easily been a mutation of a disease they already had.
There were other period will less of a population drop* that are known to have been caused by Europeans disease.
Better as in faster deployment, more reliable programs, more likely to use source control, and better at breaking things down into discrete components.

Publishing also include experiments that fail.
In science, the second paper is the most important.
Because it's happening in the science field. Science is the proper tag.

Why do you assume you are any smarter?
Let's deal with that first, shall we?
So, what's the impact of adding 4 centimeter wiring to a to the angle of attack indicator in a DC 10, assuming it's using expect frequencies?
Don't know that thing I happen to know? well, clearly you are stupid and I am smart!

Violence breeds violence. They should either learn to deal with events that happen on the road appropriately, or not be allowed to drive.
Executed is a solution thought up by stupid short sighted people.
