MIT Quantum Computing Conference, Toga Party

Posted by timothy on from the put-those-qbits-in-their-hypothetical-places dept.

An anonymous reader writes: "MIT is hosting a LARGE quantum computing conference on July 22-26, 2002. Should be a lot of fun. Most of the famous scientists in the field will be there. However, I and others are a bit horrified by the high (some might say elitist) entrance fee ($325) which practically precludes students from participating. Too bad there isn't an open-conference advocacy."

    That might be exactly the fucking thing they wanted. In all honesty, it's summer. If this was a student orientated fete, the thing would have been during the school year. The high entrance fee is merely a fucking insurance policy.
