I would, however, like to help the others. I myself am in something of a tight financial situation right now, so I can't help directly, but the LLG certainly has enough. I propose (not a motion yet; want to get people's feedback) that we get these people to buy themselves tickets by whatever means, and then we paypal them the cost, up to $NUM USD, perhaps $300 (which is about the cost of a plane ticket on a discount airline through most of the US these days). -Robin -- They say: "The first AIs will be built by the military as weapons." And I'm thinking: "Does it even occur to you to try for something other than the default outcome?" -- http://shorl.com/tydruhedufogre http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/
