Bottom line is that no matter how hard you try to make the snake tap dance, it'll never happen. IBM has destroyed what was a good, reliable, source of weather data. They keep making the same rookie mistake, fielding new code without proper testing. This isn't the first time they've done this, more like the unteenth. Let's be honest, it's being run by amateurs, if we're lucky, or more likely people reading Java for Dummies the first time. Throw in management that can't plan, or if they can their plans are based on such optimistic viewpoints as to be un-meetable.
End of rant.
