Source Code Escrow

I think the usefullness depends on what type of application you're dealing with. If you're dealing with a toolkit or a set of libraries that you have in escrow, I think the source would be very useful....especially when you're trying to figure out what in blue blazes they're trying to do.
On the subject of the completeness of the code, the escrowed code needs to be reviewed by the client to check for completeness. I doubt this review would be entirely complete, but would at least (hopefully) verify that the major features are there.
Funny how they never talk about outsourcing the CEOs or board members. You'd think you could get the most bang for the outsource by outsourcing the people whoe make the most, but do the least amount of the work.
The loss of jobs overseas isn't going to stop until someone makes a stand that having skilled Americans working will matter more than the bottom line of any company. Unfortunately, it's likely to get worse before it gets better.
