At DEC, badges don't have pictures on them.  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..."
