	I haven't registered for the Unix conference yet, and I may
	not be able to for a while - I'm waiting for my boss to 
	decide if he'll send me.

	I absolutely object to this "leave the room and you'll have to
	wait on line to get back in" policy.  Do you mean to tell me
	that if I have to go to the can in the middle of a talk, I may 
	miss out on the rest of it because I can't get back in?

	BULL****!  If my company pays for me to attend a conference, I
	will not let some stupid bureaucrat tell me what sessions I can go
	to, or whether or not I can leave the room.  I suggest mass
	non-violent protest, to wit: just ignore the badges and do what 
	you want to.  What are they going to do, call out the National
	Guard and shoot innocent programmers?
