They do, however, have your name and badge (i.e. id) number. Ken Olson, founder & president of DEC, has been asked more than once why DEC badges don't have pictures. His answer goes something like this: "Every badge I've ever seen with a picture on it requires that your name be written in very small print to fit. If I bump into you in the hallway and begin talking - I already know what you look like..." -- Jerry devax!yale-comix!leichter (Also DEC badge 71848...)
