    One time when I was in university, Dominos had a proper unlimited topping deal. We had the guy read out the toppings one by one, and my roommates and I voted on each one. We ended up with something like 20 toppings, including all the meats. The pizza was almost 3 inches thick, and we had to eat it with a knife and fork. Good times.

    I like iDrive, but this WTF reminds me of their own WTF. Read down to the subsection titled, "A note on the concept of 'unlimited storage' for IDrive-E-Pro."

    Holy crap, I-Drive. We used to trade MP3s on this in 1999 before it cracked down and fell off the radar during the meltdown.

    I noticed the Russian at the end. Does the rest mean anything?

    No, he's full of crap. The original garbled text contained only characters in ISO-8859-1, since clearly it's just interpreting each byte of the original data as an 8859-1 character. Text from non-unicode character sets interpreted as unicode tends to look rather different (if interpreted as UTF-8, you'll get a lot of question marks since almost nothing looks like valid UTF-8, if interpreted as UTF-16, there will probably be some chinese characters.)

    The answer is that Harrow has no clue what the boxes are. They are almost certainly not actual boxes (U+25A1 WHITE SQUARE) as he chose to map them to. In all seriousness, it's probably some east asian non-unicode character set. Since it uses bytes that come up as boxes, that pretty much limits it to Shift-JIS and Big5 as far as I know.

    A lot of people are stuck in wildly unpredictable traffic coming home. If you only have a few miles left to go, you can order a pizza and be sure both you and the pizza arrive home somewhat simultaneously. Sending a text would work for those who don't have a handsfree carkit, and if your order is usually the same, you use a templated text message.

    Best I can come up with.

    I strongly hope (nay, encourage) all those people who still feel it necessary to talk on the phone without a handsfree, or text, while driving, crash into a pole and die in a large fireball. Especially while driving in "wildly unpredictable traffic".

    I mean, come on. Either stop at the side of the road or wait until you get home. It's dangerous, stupid and inconsiderate to do otherwise.

    If you only have a few miles left, you're probably on surface streets, unless the freeway exits onto your driveway. And a red light provides more than adequate time to send a precomposed text message.

    Indeed, You can't have more than five different kinds of toppings, but at the very same time you can have unlimited ammo... i meant unlimited amount of each of those toppings!

    Imagine, just imagine a crusty 200g of pizza, covered by 2kg of topping-A and 3 kg of topping-B ! Woohoo! Find-a-pizza quest! Delicious!!!

    Yep. Scandinavian languages are very similar.

    One glaring exception being Finnish. Suomi is Hungarian based while the rest of the Scandinavian languages are Germanic based.

    'cept that a) Finnish isn't a Scandinavian language (unless you count Finnish immigrants in Sweden), since Finland isn't a part of Scandinavia, b) Finnish isn't based on Hungarian - they have common roots in the proto-ugric language in the fenno-ugric language group, but neither is based on the other.

    And yes, we have to learn Swedish in school (or Finnish, if one's mother tongue is Swedish). A moderate skill level in one's weaker domestic language is even a requirement for a university degree. There are, of course, exceptions, but that's the rule.

    Another, bigger, WTF about Papa John's is that most of their validation is only in client-side javascript.

    That means that when a special is for something like "Free breadsticks with order of a meat lovers pizza" and you're a vegan, you can click on it, execute some javascript of your own, and replace all of the meat with onions and mushrooms.

    I believe it still shows up in their system as the official name of the pizza (since that's what is on the 'receipt'), but the full ingredient list of the pizza that the pizza-makers are supposed to make is there as well. I never had a problem with it and I've ordered 10+ pizzas that way.

    Well done that man!!!!

    Or unless you count Swedish immigrants into Finland (the so-called "duck pond").

    C'mon, Finland is very definitely part of Scandinavia. There's so much in common. The Baltic, crappy winters, wonderful summers, unexplored beaches, interesting ways to salt a herring ... You can own up to a sad longing to revert to being a Grand Duchy of Russia, if you want, but you're not convincing anybody if you claim not to be Scandinavian.

    And you're just nit-picking about the language thing. Fenno-ugric is one of the more sensible branches of proto indo-european. Like Ronseal, it does what it says on the tin.

    You also have beautiful women, just like the rest of Scandinavia. And a bunch of expatriates in Stockholm who are a whole heck of a lot of fun to drink beer with.

    I sense I'm stepping on cultural toes, here.

    What strikes me is how similar it reads to Dutch. I can read it, and I have no experience with Scandinavian languages at all.

    Maybe they didn't mean to say that the number of toppings was unlimited, but that the toppings themselves had no limits. They're using that new parabolic pepperoni.

    I think you meant hyperbolic. . .
