There will be demo n8x0 ( I believe n810's ) for the projectors, no I don't know how they are connected, but they will be there.

Logistically I would also prepare slides/snapshots in case, for whatever reason, networks are slow or unreliable. We are packed to the gills and I would be very upset at having to rearrange/cancel slots at this point because you needed a 5mbps connection to complete your session.
If you have special or unusual needs please bring it mine ( Eric Warnke ) or one of the other organizers as soon as possible so we can get things moving

It's kind of like traffic laws -- there are tons of them that don't get enforced because doing so would be impractical, inconsistent, and the enforcement agency doesn't have enough bandwidth to actually pursue them.

On the site TSA screeners aren't going to look for every data storing device and spend time flagging it or inspecting it. There aren't enough of them to spend that much time on it. They're going to look for the obvious ones, not the marginal ones.
