Playfair Relocates to India
Lord Grey writes "Imagine my surprise to see playfair 0.5.0 appear on Freshmeat's project list. Remember, the project was pulled after Apple filed a Cease-and-Desist order just a few days ago. playfair's new web site talks a bit about the move, as well as sporting the latest release of the controversial utility."
Even our "Information Wants to be Free" activists are being outsourced to India!
We'd you moderate as Troll -1, but Slashdot duties moderation were outsourced to India yesterday. The moderation pace will pick up again as soon as our staff English learns. Thank you. Please to come again.
to the previous Playfair story, but it took the editors 3 days to post a front page story about it?
Guess it's true they can't be bothered reading the site -- maybe they should outsource their duties.

God I still remember the HACKER MANIFESTO!!!!
Investment in India comes promarily from the private sector. The private sector is interested only in money. If it was a matter of principle, they would not have gone to India in the first place.
CFO to CIO: "Hey Jake, guess what?"
CIO: What?
CFO: You know how we made 78 million last year outsourcing our call center and IT support to Hyderabad?
CIO: Heck! That was the smartest move we ever did! We're back on the Street!
CFO: Well, we're gonna have to pull back...
CIO: What? Are you out of your mind?
CFO: Not at all. The Indian government is allowing some no-name company down there to violate Apple Computer's patents on their file format...
CIO: Let me cut you off right there Buddy... I don't give a damn about Apple. It's their problem. As long as we can get labor at $1 per hour, we're staying. So, got anything else?
CFO: Yeah, we're still on for golf at 3?
CIO: You betcha!
