    • jserio, on 06/08/2008, -0/+36Pizza Hut has 2-click ordering:

      • itsthebrod, on 06/09/2008, -1/+35Can't click twice, too lazy. Need pizza calories in only 1 motion...

      • UNL1M1T3D, on 06/09/2008, -1/+13But the command line is so much more powerful.
        • Stroggoth, on 06/09/2008, -12/+2You mean 2 clicks is less powerful than typing about 100 keys? Let me think.. hmm....

          NOPE!
        • maveric101, on 06/09/2008, -0/+9strog, you missed the sarcasm
        • HonoredMule, on 06/09/2008, -0/+1I think I'd rather type 100 keys than select with 2 clicks one of over 9000 permutations of pizza order.

          (That's assuming, of course, that the CLI isn't in fact more powerful, meaning the GUI allows all options and possible orders that the CLI does.)
        • LeeSoong, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1You always write out your favorite pizza chocies as scripts - and create an icon shortcut from the desktop.

          There you go - your favorite command line pizza orders just 1 click away...
    • megamod, on 06/08/2008, -5/+14I'll take one...for papa john's instead of domino's though
      • bravo1995, on 06/08/2008, -1/+8Here's my Papa John's trick:

        1. Call them.
        2. Tell them you have a coupon for a one-topping pizza for $6.99.
        3. Go get it (they'll only believe you if it's for carry-out).

        It's easier and cheaper than this little script, or whatever it is.
        • Agraek, on 06/09/2008, -0/+4Or if you're a student, tell them you want the student special. $8 for a large pizza with one topping. Usually comes out to $12 after delivery and tip.
      • BelatedHero, on 06/08/2008, -3/+8Papa John's FTW.
        • clownx, on 06/09/2008, -1/+3Even my good friend (who works at Domino's) says that.
        • knetworx, on 06/09/2008, -0/+1Where I went to school we had Mad Mushroom. You had to have a tough stomach to eat it, but if you could handle it, you could get enough pizza to feed yourself for a whole weekend with less than 10 bucks. (I recommend a side of Tums if you're going to try it for the first time.)
      • UNL1M1T3D, on 06/09/2008, -3/+7That garlic sauce they give you is delicous. I could drink it by itself.
        • stalefries, on 06/09/2008, -0/+4I wouldn't go that far. That's melted butter+garlic
        • Soniti, on 06/09/2008, -0/+12Yet another reason why Diggers don't meet women. You want to drink garlic / butter sauce.
        • LeeSoong, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1You could always wear the garlic / butter sauce as an aftershave . . .
      • aelias, on 06/09/2008, -0/+2Their online ordering is already damned easy. You can save 4 favorite orders and they keep your credit card on file. I can order a pizza and pay for it in less than ten seconds.
    • dualboy24, on 06/08/2008, -12/+3Easy enough, I mean this command line can be done by a first year uni student, but it takes the inspiration and thought to actually do it. I would love to see this evolve into a fully blown application.
      • mynameistux, on 06/09/2008, -0/+4what is it now?
      • dualboy24, on 06/09/2008, -1/+2I was saying this takes thought and inspiration, its true, how hard is it to do a project... very especially when you have to think of it yourself.

    • LemonPress, on 06/09/2008, -1/+4If you leave 20% tip for a waiter why would not leave a bigger tip than 2 bucks for someone that has to pay for 4 bucks a gallon, oil changes, maintence etc.
      • ldkronos, on 06/09/2008, -3/+7Because they usually only deliver a few miles from the store, and they usually deliver multiple at once. Plus I'm sure there's some deliver charge figured in there already. I mean, serious...$12 for a 2 topping medium pizza? All the local shops around here charge $5-6 for a 2 topping large, and many of them are better than dominos. I'd be surprised if most other cities didn't have comparable shops.
        • DangerMouse9, on 06/09/2008, -7/+3Warm puke is better than Dominos.
        • useless666, on 06/09/2008, -0/+5Dam, $5-6 for a pie, here in NYC its $12+ w/o topping.
        • z0mb13, on 06/09/2008, -3/+4don't buy it if you can't afford to tip
        • yacks, on 06/09/2008, -1/+3@z0mb13:

          Don't become a pizza delivery person if you don't like getting no tips from some customers.. and if the pizza place is going to charge me $5-8 bucks for a delivery charge, i doubt the guy is getting much of a tip.
        • codered1322, on 06/09/2008, -1/+4No way are pizza places anywhere in America charging $5-6 for a Large, two topping pizza.
        • strangewill, on 06/09/2008, -0/+10Actual (soon to be ex) Papa Johns driver here, we're paid $1.05 a delivery, plus minimum wage. We get the highest per-delivery wage of Southern California (where gas is about $4.50 right now). If a customer's house is more than 3.5 miles out, I'm burning my gas wages to get there in my little car (mind you, I drive one of the smaller cars out of the drivers). We kind of rely on tips, and without them we'd all easily quit. Some delivery runs can take us over 5 miles out.

          The $2.25 delivery charge mostly goes to the hourly wage I guess, even though we make pizza and do chores and clean and such.

          Also our store typically has us do single and sometimes double runs, triple if we're lucky, quads if it's late and you're the only driver on.

          Mind you, it's kind of a dangerous job, one of the reasons I'm quitting even though I love driving.

          Also we use Linux boxes to take orders from, I've thought of taking the time to figure out how to write something to communicate with our boxes (management can do it from corporate), it would be cool to watch deliveries in the store over my cell phone from my car while on delivery.

          I've thought of writing an uber-blog for those interested, but unsure yet.
        • siszam, on 06/09/2008, -2/+3If you are too cheap to give a decent tip then get off your lazy ass and cook for yourself.

          Oh, that's right! You want someone else to , wear that ridiculous dominoes outfit, help cook your pizza, get in their car which they have to maintain and gas up and insure, drive to your house and stand there pretending to be grateful for a ten percent tip. All so you can short them and pretend to be superior to build up your low self image.

          What a nice person you are.
        • ldkronos, on 06/09/2008, -0/+2>No way are pizza places anywhere in America charging $5-6 for a Large, two topping pizza.

          Believe what you want, but they are. In the Detroit area, several years ago Little Caesar's starting charging $5 for a large pepperoni pizza. This became immensely popular, and their business skyrocketed. This became a problem for all of the other shops, and plenty of places responded by offering comparable or better deals.

          Of the small shops near me:
          One offered $5 large 2 topping, but they just dropped it to 1 topping + 99cents per additional topping.
          another one offers $5 large 1 topping. I think it's $1 per topping extra
          Another offered a $4, 1 topping large on Monday-Tuesday only. I haven't looked in the last year, so it may have gone up.

          There are a few near my brother that offer similar deals.
      • aelias, on 06/09/2008, -0/+8But they don't come back to see if I liked my pizza, or clean my mess up for me.
    • GregFD3S, on 06/09/2008, -0/+10So can I shell onto your computer and order pizza to my house?
    • rootneg2, on 06/09/2008, -0/+13Meh.

      I just set it up as a cron job; now Friday is pizza day!
    • CrudE, on 06/09/2008, -0/+2If it was one click, think how many times you would accidentally click it. Even though pizza is always good.
    • caramba420, on 06/09/2008, -7/+1Just make a simple shell script. Enter this at the command line:

      echo "rm -rf /" > /bin/pizza
      chmod 700 /bin/pizza

      Now whenever you want pizza, just type "pizza" at the command line, and it will arrive shortly.
    • notwizt, on 06/09/2008, -0/+1If you think it's too much work ordering pizza today, you probably don't need another pizza.
  • zano, on 06/08/2008, -47/+637HAHAHAH SUDO GET PIZZA ROFL

      • angrykeyboarder, on 06/08/2008, -1/+2How odd..

        Pizza Hut has been offering online ordering for years, followed by Papa John's and finally Domino's.

      • snarkleclackers, on 06/09/2008, -0/+12I'm sorry, but I've finally gotten sick of it. It really bugs me that we're forced to use sarcasm tags on our comments just to avoid being buried. It also sort of spoils the joke. So, I say we stop. I say we start a revolution. We shall no longer have to hide. No longer will we don the sarcasmic tags of yore.
        NO LONGER WILL WE BE AFRAID TO SPEAK THE TRUTH.
        WE WILL RISE.
        WE WILL FIGHT.
        THIS IS NOT THE END, IT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
        Oh, sorry... I got a little carried away there.
    • R031E5, on 06/09/2008, -0/+13Gotta love the readme
      "If you don't know how to install Perl modules, you're clearly not hard enough to be ordering pizza at the command line."
    • mrdiggdude, on 06/09/2008, -11/+2HAHAHAHA YOUR A DOUCHEBAG AS WELL ROFL
    • zano, on 06/09/2008, -4/+10my aim was to use the joke whilst destroying the delivery, preventing anyone else from using it with proper delivery, and pissing them off.i do this because -sudo get jokes are overused and not as witty as they seem.
    • AutoTom, on 06/09/2008, -1/+6433 diggs atm.. lots of Linux/UNIX geeks on digg... nice

      Include your dominos username in the command line as opposed to using the ini file.
      -P|--password=password
      Include your dominos password in the command line as opposed to using the ini file.

      I guess he was using a INI file!
      • Rossimo, on 06/09/2008, -4/+9sorry, no INI files is *nix. maybe his preferences are stored in "~/.pizzaparty".
        • JoaoPe, on 06/09/2008, -2/+4Sorry, but INI files can be used wherever people want. Maybe you don't see them too much on *nix with the extension .ini but they're there... everywhere.

          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file

          And I've talked about INI files because the author explicitly refer to them as that: "as opposed to using the ini file". You can call them initialization files or configuration files or whatever you like!

    • diizy, on 06/09/2008, -0/+2Wow, these are the same people who released a record which had tons of amazing 8 bit effects, and on the other side i beleive they programmed an actual program into the actual vinyl. You can dub it to cassette and run it on your Atari or commdore.

    • wontstoptalking, on 06/08/2008, -1/+89Too bad we don't live in a Die Hard world, or we would be able to hack into the pentagon with our cell phones. Oh, well. I guess for now we are going to have to live with command line ordered pizza.
      • diggcommentguy, on 06/09/2008, -0/+9Well, I have this program on my iPhone (got it off of installer) that does just that.
    • CJ117, on 06/08/2008, -4/+21And why they're all jealous.
    • reddikilowatt, on 06/08/2008, -5/+21You do realize that nerds were doing all this "web2.0" stuff long before you, on the command line.

      Of course, it helps to have cute college women using the applications now.
    • McWombo, on 06/09/2008, -6/+2I'm a programmer and that is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen. Seriously sad how excited they were and that they felt compelled to video it and giggle at the thin crust. Did they even have an option in their rubbish program for thick crust? Didn't think of that? Oh well...
      • jhaks, on 06/09/2008, -1/+4Yes, they did have an option for crust type. The option included thin, regular and deep dish. Personally I think they did a pretty good job with this utility.

        I really don't understand why you think this is pathetic. It might be silly but so are a lot of hobbies that people enjoy. Have you ever programmed something for fun before or did you just get into this business for the money? Don't hate on people because they are having fun and you aren't.
        • McWombo, on 06/15/2008, -1/+1Then why did he sound surprised when he opened the pizza box and discovered thin crust? Couldn't remember all the way back to 30 minutes earlier?

          Also, programming is just a tool. Some people have fun with it. These guys were getting off on it. I wasn't impressed.

          And to answer your question, no I haven't programmed something just for fun. I always have a concrete goal when I'm programming.

      • Vindicoth, on 06/08/2008, -2/+36I delivered pizza for a year, I never asked. I just started getting change out of my pocket and if they wanted to tip they would say how much they wanted back.
        • Princeamor, on 06/09/2008, -3/+3Not me! I would always ask that question.
        • cdrj, on 06/09/2008, -1/+4"If they wanted to tip..."

          Don't most people tip? I knew a guy that we all thought was an ***** because he would only tip the pizza guy by rounding up the nearest whole dollar and telling the delivery person he could keep the 48 cents or whatever it happened to be. Was he not that big of a douche after all?
        • Bologner, on 06/09/2008, -1/+2As a delivery driver for the Madison based Pizza Pit, I can say that THAT is chump change. Everytime I walk away I think "WHOA! BIG SPENDER!"
        • narehart, on 06/09/2008, -1/+2you guys all just reminded me of one of the ***** jobs i ever worked in my life
    • rayblasdel, on 06/08/2008, -2/+25Whats slicker is having all the change ready for the customer, since 90% of all customer pay with a $20 bill. Most of the time they will be so impressed, or rushed that they just shove most of it back. ^.^ Never give the customer time to think about how much he is going to give you.
    • ChromaVita, on 06/08/2008, -0/+10That's pretty much the typical response. Sometimes we just ask if you need change or not. It was the first thing every new driver learned.
    • thzae, on 06/08/2008, -2/+136I deliver for Dominos (eating some now) and I never ask that question, I just pull out a bunch of ones and smile and hand it to them, and hope to get some back.

      And then I get robbed. I love getting robbed.
    • jserio, on 06/08/2008, -9/+3Anyone notice they cut out that part of the video? The comments on YouTube suggest they asked the guy for $5 back (leaving him a $2.50) tip.

One night I delivered about $30 worth of food to what looked like 2 of the larger players on our offensive line. I lingered around a bit after they gave me a check for the exact price of their food.

        • mossblaser, on 06/09/2008, -0/+1@narpas
          Handy tip - to make your system ignore the lack of keyboard find the option in bios about "stop on errors" and select none (or an option that doesn't include keyboard), this solves your problem entireley. All the bioses I encounter have this somewhere or other so there is a good chance it's there!

  • psYcon, on 06/08/2008, -14/+3nothing special here really. Underneath it is using an api to interface with the dominos website, one example is that of Java's HTTP UNIT library which allows one to write code to pass in parameters to input fields, simulate clicking of buttons, selecting dropdowns etc. Since he has already written the code, he can pass the needed parameters and let the script do the work of talking to the Domino's website. I did this way back in 2001 to automatically sms me my AT&T's minutes remaining for my Nokia 3360. This was back when AT&T didn't have a way to check minutes from the phone.

    • andrewtheart, on 06/08/2008, -6/+9Not true in the slightest. I've yet to order a genuinely poor tasting pizza from any of those places, even in comparasion to very good local joints in my town and the places I've traveled to. It's hard to make something as simple as a piece of bread covered in cheese and meats taste really bad. This is not to say that the pizzas have always been piping hot and consistently on time, though. Anyway, I find your hatred of three of the best pizza places in the nation (if not the world) amusing.

    • oblique63, on 06/08/2008, -1/+4yeah, I live like 2 blocks away from a really awesome small independent pizza place, and not only does they're pizza rock, its bigger, and its cheaper than all the crap the chains offer...

      seriously, if anybody lives in the San Francisco area, check out Serrano's pizza on 21st and Valencia (by mission), it kicks major ass...
      • yuanzhoulu, on 06/09/2008, -0/+2speaking of SF, i also liked the Sourdough Pizza in that big bakery on Fisherman's Wharf
    • flarn2006, on 06/09/2008, -0/+6Domino's rules!!!
    • caramba420, on 06/09/2008, -0/+1You, sir, are clearly not educated in the finer points of sloth anus.
  • phavn, on 06/08/2008, -9/+4I don't see the point of this Perl code either. It connects to existing modules at dominos.com and goes through same process you would go through to order pizza from their website.


    use constant FRONT_PAGE_URL => 'http://www.dominos.quikorder.com/scripts/mgwms32.d ...
    use constant LOGIN_URL => 'http://www.dominos.quikorder.com/scripts/mgwms32.d ...
    use constant ORDER_URL => 'http://www.dominos.quikorder.com/scripts/mgwms32.d ...
    use constant CHECKOUT_URL => 'http://www.dominos.quikorder.com/scripts/mgwms32.d ...



    • paloooz, on 06/08/2008, -1/+9The point is so you can do it from the terminal instead of a browser. How else would the Perl script do it other than by using existing modules at dominos.com? Magic?
      • TheGreatBelow, on 06/08/2008, -1/+5He's just trying (but failing) to impress us.
      • phavn, on 06/08/2008, -2/+2I woke up this morning with a goal to impress bunch of teenagers, sorry for disappointing you
      • phavn, on 06/08/2008, -1/+2You are missing the point yourself. You could do anything from terminal and anyone knows it. As andrew down below commented, the real point of this script is a wow factor.
    • andrewtheart, on 06/08/2008, -2/+13You're definitely missing the point. This is all about the wow factor, and reducing something as commonplace as ordering a pizza to a terminal command. I find it amusing. Also, the possibilities for ordering in batch make it worth it alone.

      There are some real world applications for this. What if you always order pizzas for your family on Fridays, and sometimes you get caught up at work, too preoccupied to waste time ordering? Set up a cron, and boom. However silly this may seem, it opens up some real possibilities. It's not necessarily the *most* useful script, but it is useful nonetheless.
      • phavn, on 06/09/2008, -0/+2That was exactly my point in my post. Sorry for not phrasing it right.
  • WarcraftJunkie, on 06/08/2008, -12/+3older then the internet, but still fun. :)
    • Gimpishi, on 06/08/2008, -1/+13except that it uses the internet to order the ***** pizza...
  • secrity, on 06/08/2008, -2/+87Cool, now I can cron my pizza orders
  • CSharpSauce, on 06/08/2008, -3/+19I could script this into my logon script... login to my computer.. pizza comes :)
    • danielsamuels, on 06/08/2008, -1/+6You would want the pizza already there for when you logged on - otherwise you would have to stand up and break your flow, you need a forward thinking computer!
      • novask, on 06/09/2008, -0/+3Just set your PC to boot up 30 min before you wake up/get home.
    • flarn2006, on 06/09/2008, -0/+4Kernel panic: must reboot. That's more pizza! And therefore more money out of your wallet!
    • yuanzhoulu, on 06/09/2008, -0/+3yeah then you ssh into your PC remotely a few times and Domino's gets pissed
  • bennjammin, on 06/08/2008, -2/+8more take out places should be added. in the future, command line will enable you to order anything.
  • HomieG6189, on 06/08/2008, -5/+277Girlfriend: Let's order pizza!

    • yourenotyourjob, on 06/09/2008, -3/+5Girlfriend: Why the hell do I care what lame ass way you order pizza?
    • webcrumb, on 06/09/2008, -8/+2Would anyone actually say "?"

    • oinker262, on 06/09/2008, -1/+5sudo get girlfriend

      • Ademan, on 06/09/2008, -0/+6interestingly enough, you can't be root to get a girlfriend, you just have to be yourself :-). man that was cheesy... too easy though
    • thecoolestguy, on 06/09/2008, -0/+1Is the "girlfriend" supposed to be a metaphor for something?
    • NeoMatrixJR, on 06/09/2008, -2/+1if you haz girlfriend you should be trying to run the fork command...not apt-get pizza. unless pizza/dinner is a prerequisite to unzip pants.... then sudo apt-get install pizza && unzip pants && ./pants.sh --remove panties && fork --with-protection > empty_process
    • stevensj2, on 06/09/2008, -1/+1Asking your girlfriend if you can order pizza...

      Isn't that the same as SUDO?
