Pizza From the Command Line
Punk Walrus writes "Pizza Party is a free, text based CLI for ordering Domino's pizza via Quikorder, or for throwing pizza parties. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License, runs under most *nix shells, and can order pizza with only a few keystrokes. Includes video of actual ordering."
It can order from Dominos or it can order pizzia? Becuase I have to tell you, Domino doesn't sell anything I would call pizzia.

I'm waiting until I can just lean over and fart and a pizza is on it's way. This still requires too much work. I'm sure they can incorporate that in the 2.7 kernel.
Hmm I am disappointed to see these ubergeeks demoing their app in Windows. :(
Yeah. A GUI front-end for the comand-line order program. That would rule!
Or, you could just use any web browser and do it the normal way.
Sometimes people doing stuff just because they can is irritating.
I have no issue with the command-line program. That's fine. But the parent of my original comment posted about a GUI counterpart to the command-line version. I don't see the point.
Depends where you're located. If you're in new york, then yes ordering from domino's is silly. If you're somewhere that they don't know how to make pizza, it's a reasonable option. Also, they look a lot better if rather than comparing them to a real neighborhood pizza place, you compare them to the total trash served at pizza hut or sbarros.
I'd rather be lucky than good.
Is it just me, or does ordering pizza from a web page on a cell phone seem like more work than necessary? Why not actually use the phone to call them up and place the order?

Uhg, somebody do this for Papa Johns instead...

This would actually be handy for friends of mine that have severe social anxiety, or if you have crazy directions for pizza or your home, or if you want to get a lot of stuff and not have to have it parroted back to you, then repeat it back, and risk them forgetting to do no aregano or whatever.
I'm on a road shaped like a figure eight; I'm going nowhere but I'm guaranteed to be late.
Where do you live? I'm guessing not new york. If so, that's very sad.
Pizza hut isn't inedible or even that terrible, but in my mind it barely qualifies as actually being pizza. It's some fast food cartoon version of pizza. It's "pizza" in only the technical sense that you would consider Wonder Bread to be "bread" if you were used to real (not white!) bread freshly baked at a bakery.

Actually, I sort of noticed that when I posted. I decided it was okay, since the sentence works equally well either way:
Option 1: "Based on your lack of tast in pizza, I'm guessing you don't like in new york. I find it very sad that you live somewhere other than new york and have subsequently been so deprived of real pizza that you think pizza hut is delicious".
Option 2: "Based on your lack of taste in pizza, I'm guessing you don't like in new york. If you do live in new york, but have somehow not discovered the wonders of real pizza, that is very sad".
Either of these interpretations works for me. It's a question of what you see in post. In this way, my posts are like great works of art. They reflect the soul of the observer back at him. The artist's intent isn't really as important as what you see in the post.
Note 1: I don't actually live in new york. But I grew up there. I miss the pizza. And the bagels.
Note 2: I don't eat meat. So if the big selling point of pizza hut is only that they make a swell animal-carcass-lover's pizza, maybe that's why the magic of the place is lost on me.
I'd rather be lucky than good.
I think you just answered your own question.
Finally! A killer app for Linux!
