People like you and your company should be expelled for treason, what traders to the American worker.
Yeah, teach him a lesson about American worker!
Now go get your Mac and remote control and jump on the couch... and tomorrow, do not forget to suit. Everyone!
Have you ever tried to integrate into the team, train them, get to know them as you know your colleague? Probably no, probably the project was late and your manager (who probably didn't read even "The Mythical Man Month") thought about adding hiring 100 "monkeys" for 100$/month to do the dirty work...
Have your manager tried to outsource to real programmers and prepared to pay real salaries?
Au contraire, for large teams (large projects) the specifications are usually themselves blurry, so hiring outsiders in critical moments is very dangerous. Instead I would hire in advance, put them to a pilot project etc. PREPARE!
Programming is about team work, where everyone takes responsibilities and each people supports the guy next to him not giving the trash you don't like to do to other people. It will end up costing the same... My guess is that you don't have too much experience in team work.
Why not find a team somewhere around the world where salaries are smaller, try a pilot project first, see how you integrate with the team. Still be prepared to spend time and energy, at leas initially. I would avoid India/China... from my experience (it's hard to find good people. Usually there's a good one which takes the tasks and give it to a real monkey in the back).
For instance, we are in a similar situation and found a team of people, trough some friends, somewhere in Asia. We are now getting the people into our company for few months to familiarize with each other, TRAIN THEM, mingle. Get to know them, and afterwards communication will be easier. It's a risk we assume, but we think it's better that just shoot the task and wait for delivery. That doesn't work. We expect to pay as much as half of a programmer inside our company, so it will be a win in the end.
Thinking in terms of getting rid of monkey work is bad business and not how a team should perform.
In Romania, that's probably a satchel VHS camera with a stage microphone taped to the window.
Dear bruce,
Stop being an assole and keep your irony for yourself. Romanian is among top five countries on Internet connection speed. And regarding security, it has best border surveillance systems among EU countries.
Oh, and please do you research first...

Dear bruce,
Stop being an asshole and do your homework before posting your shitty ironies. Romania is on the top 5 (FIVE) countries on the Internet connection speed, while at its borders uses the most advanced security surveillance system among EU countries (being at the EU border).
I'll let you do the research, seems you're way behind.
Let me think... because THEY compare themselves with Photoshop?? From TFA: ".... So it is even better then Adobe Photoshops window management now!" How about that?
From TFA:
"- Single window mode has arrived in GIMP...
- you’re now able to group layers and move/duplicate/make-visible/delete/etc many layers at once that you combined in the group"
- extremely improved text tool
- a brand new tool to transform an image on a polygon base
- Take care of hundreds of brushes now and only show “flower” brushes, for example, by filtering them!
- a new on-screen-indicatior that shows you how far an operation is to be finished (this is more intuitive than just the status bar progress text).
- new slider widgets which allow you to use them in different very effective ways"
In another words, welcome to Photoshop 7 without easter eggs

Convinced me to move to Mac. I cannot wait to get my hand on it!
Let me think ... because not all are programmers? Numeric keyboards seem to make accountants come ...
