[ale] Fwd: Safeco moves IT offshore

[Christopher Fowler]

I'd like to find an offshore house to do my FCC certification.  I don't
feel like paying the premimums required in the US to have my
developments certified.

Or I could follow the Chinese method and just say it is certified with
no proof to back up that claim
