Gefilte fish pizza with matzo bread crust. Oh yaaaa. Hello, Dominos? Do you deliver to Syria? From Jordan? Great!

Working off that idea it seems that they could do even better. Using real numbers, currently Dominos is offering 2 medium 2 toppings pizzas for $5.99 each. So for 21 billion dollars they could provide (at retail price) about 3,500,000,000 pizzas. No according to the US National Debt Clock people there are an estimated 13,823,423*people currently officially unemployed, so for each officially unemployed person could receive about 253 medium pizzas. If we use the real number of unemployed people which is listed as an estimated 24,553,586* then each person would receive about 142 pizzas. Going one step further if we used the total estimated US population of 312,116,629* each person would receive about 11 pizzas.

* These values are the estimated values provided by www.usdebtclock.org at the time of this writing.

Based strictly on technology, I'd go with Dominos...

Well, duh, that's not the point, the point is I figured out a way to use IRC to get you baked goods.

Your 'innovation' is using IRC instead of HTML. You weren't even creative enough to deliver something other than baked goods. What's so patentable about that?

The ONLY exception I can see for using Flash is if you have a product which you want people to see all sides of and you have a short display of the product rotating.

You've apparently never used the Domino's Pizza Tracker. The finest use of Flash since... well, pretty much ever.

Yes.

The color trademark is a touchy one. From my experience of watching a court case about this issue is that it mostly depends on the name of the color, it's use and whether or not you reference the company with the claim.

Of course none of those rules are hard and fast, and they don't take each into balance.
For example, if you opened a pizza delivery play and used blue and orange colors, regardless of shade, you would probably get sued in Thirty minutes or less

[The Chuck E. Cheese experience of pizza and video games is] something an arcade can deliver that you can't get at home.

Huh huh, you said deliver. What else can CEC offer that a video game store plus a pizza parlor can't?

By your logic, then Kleenex has a monopoly on Kleenex Tissues, Clorox has a monopoly on Clorox Bleach, and Domino's has a monopoly on Domino's Pizza.

Apple is not a monopoly.

This device + a recliner = (drool...) laziness. Then all you need is this and this, and you won't have to move for days.

>110 comments and no one posted the reason why dominos are so important in a true geek's life.

With a background in network design and implementation, security (firewalls and permissions design), NT/2K networking, and Linux implementation and administration, and enough certification paper to bury a 10 story building, you'd think I could land SOMETHING.

But no.

I start tonight delivering pizza for Domino's.

This dot-com market glut crap is real, even for those of us who are not marginally skilled and who are just unlucky. With Web-based job hunting places sprouting ads for nobody but headhunters, the chances of your resume (out of 20,000 submitted) getting looked at are miniscule, even if you can shit gold code.

Life sucks if you're out of work in this biz, gang. Those of you who have jobs ought to count your blessings, because the market just isn't there for hopping around every six months anymore.
