Parent should be modded informative and not funny, as it is true : see http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007 /03/msg00023.html
Our secret plan was to announce the release on April 1st (that would have been fun, don't you think so:) ), but well - quality is more important.
Any kind of energy supply is renewable and sustainable by the environment at a small scale, but isn't a durable solution to cope with the needs of 6 billions people. There is no energy supply allowing us to continue to develop like we do now, especially if more and more people can live like we do in developed countries. The only responsible course of action is to reduce the consumption, not to find alternative sources. Diversifying the sources will help, of course, but it won't be enough.
We have to be more conscious of the environment, at any scale, from the individuals avoiding to waste water and choosing low-voltage bulbs to urbanist limiting our need for cars and to governments applying stricter norms to building construction or applying the Kyoto protocol (hello USA:)).
People thinking that the scientists will devise a perfect source of energy, infinite and without any waste or environmental impact, are just naive dreamers and it will be harsh when they'll wake up.
If only the French government did the same thing... In France, electronic vote will be used for the next presidential elections, without any of these guarantees and without any open debate with the citizens.
A lot of people are against this evolution, as shown by a petition on the Internet : http://www.recul-democratique.org/About-us.html, and they demand approximatively the same requirements. People have to trust completely the result of the elections and they can't rely on the report of a private expert claiming that the program is secure. So it means open source for the computer scientists originating this petition and paper trail for the vast majority of the population who don't feel completely safe about the whole dematerialisation process.
Excuse me for any spelling or grammar mistake, or correct me in french.:o)
As another example of what you can do with Lua, it is used in Ion, a window manager (http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/ion/). Granted, it is a little known window manager, intended for people who dislike mouse and fancy graphic effects, but it has been designed to be a lightweight solution and that's why Lua had been chosen.

Lua is not only used in games.

http://www.yzis.org/ uses it also.
Come on, why isn't this one modded funny ? It's still april 1st in Honolulu, maybe he got confused ...
you have a strange definition of 'smart'. I don't think being a spammer is being smart
