VIDEO: EAST ANGLIA PROGRAMMER AND FUDGE FACTORS

It appears that journalism is being resurrected in Great Britain. Yes, East Anglia University is located there and it's more of an international story with severe local implications but it is nonetheless refreshing and encouraging to see this type of investigative reporting. Here a reporter seeks out a programming expert and listens as he explains his problems with the programming language used at the CRU at East Anglia.

It appears that this programmer, John Graham-Cumming, is more than just a bit taken aback by what he sees. I'm sure seeing the phrase "fudge factor" in the program code didn't help.
