In addition to limited access to Sat phones and soldiers supervising internet access, they may not be able to climb at all between May 1st and the descent of the Chinese team carrying the Olympic torch (projected May 10). The Chinese north side of the mountain seems completely closed this year.

Comment Impact on outsourcing destination (Score 2, Interesting) 1091

What impact does outsourcing higher paying jobs to a poor country have on that country's economy? For instance when Dell sent support jobs to india, they were paying those support people many many times what most indians make, paying them with money from selling a product most indians could never afford. I would imagine that those with the outsourced jobs would be consuming a lot more than normal, which would drive up prices for things like housing, transportation, and cloths. These higher prices would negatively impact the average person trying to purchase those things, meaning that the average indian is worse off for having these higher paying jobs in their country.
