I came across this after hearing mention of it the other day. In the most basic sense, it is just a program to order Dominos pizza. Really though, this is the perfect selling point for Linux and other *nix systems over Windows. Sure you could do something like this in Windows, either install this after getting cygwin going or making a different program with a UI, whatever floats your boat. But how about this. Create a crontab entry that looks like so:
30 18 * * 5 pizza_party -p 2 large regular
That would order 2 pepperoni pizzas every Friday night at 6:30. Now all this takes is adding the crontab, installing pizza_party and setting up a Dominos account. How frickin' awesome is that?

From this point until I decide to change it, I will post a tribute to someone or something, pretty much at random.
