At first, I was flabbergasted at the awesomeness here: "Oh my God!" I thought, "You could order pizza from any terminal. Ohh! You could even use a mobile terminal client to order pizza from your CELL PHONE! HOW NOVEL!"
Yeah... I slapped my forehead, too.
except this is much faster, and way geekier.
Can someone patch it to bring good pizza instead of domino's?
Anyone else find it ironic that this appears the same day as the "Sacrifice your health for your startup" submission? ;)
Just need one for Subway or something, then http://xkcd.com/149/ would make more sense (with the proper Makefile, owner set to root and permissions set to 600, of course)
I need to use this in a weekly cron job.
thanks for the good laugh :D
I was very close to doing this (for Pizza Hotline) for my IEEE Student Branch, but I was pretty sure I'd forget to cancel it for a holiday some time, so I never did.
If you're going to use one of these terminal pizza ordering apps, do yourself a favor and make sure the damn thing isn't sending your credit card number over the Internet in plaintext. I know one of the pizza orderer things that made headlines a while ago did.
Oh wow... I can't believe this application is actually five years old! I was crackin up after watching the video on the main page, and then I saw that it says 2004 -- how could I have missed this for five years! This is a great little program.

There's a nice emergency pizza button at a dorm on the east side of MIT. It's laser-cut and everything.
I saw this a few years ago and forgot about it. I'll have to try it soon.
Except I don't think Domino's delivers to my house...
