lua-users lottery

[John Belmonte <jvb@...>]

See http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaUsersLottery about how to win an 
opportunity to lose money (and help support lua-users.org).

The lua-users.org site has been around for almost a year now, and the 
domain registration is up for renewal.  I'm happy to continue paying and 
take the credit, but I have a feeling that others would also like to 
show their support.  The drawing will be on Thursday/Friday (depending 
on your time zone) of the coming week.

The lottery system has a few flaws, like the random function depends on 
the C library on the server (preventing independent verification), and 
it may be a hassle for someone outside the US to make a payment.  Anyway 
I thought this was more fun than saying "first one to send me an email...".

Lastly, I've revealed that I don't mind using Lua for system scripting, 
as long as the code is _inside_ the system script and not making any 
system calls :-)
