Do0d, 14 suks. U neEd 21 iNChEz. Ha I RulZZZzzzz!!!

Hello all,

I have a 5" personal pizza I take with me when I go out. How can I transfer toppings between it and the main pizza I have in my den?

You go out man? What's it like?

Hey I'm assembling my own pizza from scratch. I'm a bit confused about the cheese standards though. Which is best, or does it really matter?

Good grief, isn't this list moderated?!

Geez, nothing like giving out info with an eyedropper. Details man! Who made the pizzas and what are each equipped with? With some makes of pizzas you should be able to just dump the toppings from one to the other. With others you may have to string cheese between them first, or even buffer the transfer via pizza bread.

I think the problem is the sausagelink.library. Version 1.55 is the latest. Earlier versions had filtering problems, and there were a ton of bugs in the, well, you're better off not knowing. :-P

He's right. What you asked was the equivalent of calling an auto mechanic and saying, "I hear a noise." Just as the mechanic needs to know the make and model of the vehicle, and some details about the noise, the more infomation you can give us the better we can help you.

Just want to say that pizza bread buffering can be tricky. Be sure to use warm, fluffy, fully-baked bread or you can lose toppings during the transfer.

Heh heh. I had a client once who used to use a napkin as a buffer!

Hi,

I heard that a pizza emulator exists. Is this true? How well does it work?

Yo! My brother has an old 2 topping pizza from '84 in his closet. Is it good for anything anymore? I'd hate to just throw it out.

Yes, I've tried this. It runs on top of lasagna and lets you use some toppings. You need a large pan of lasagna, and there are a lot of toppings it won't work with. You're better off with a real pizza.

ROTFL!!!

That brings back some memories! I had a lot of fun with my old 2 topper. Can you still use it? That depends on what you usually do with pizza. Of course it won't make a full meal anymore, but as a snack you might get by with it.

If you can't use it, consider passing it on to a youngster. It wouldn't be a bad starter system.

Also, you could donate it to a school cafeteria.

Why? This made sense in the old days, but prices are down now, variety is up, and configuring toppings from different suppliers is a real mess.

I just bought an iPizza (pretty blue crust) and had it up and running in 30 minutes or less!

I set one up in the trunk of my car as a security system. I swapped out the original toppings in favor of anchovies and peanut butter. Works great!

Is it the pizza, or is your car a '76 Gremlin. :-)

It matters; get cheese that adheres to the CMJ standard. It'll work on all crusts, and allows for up to 64 toppings.

NO, NO, NO! WDA4 is the _official_ cheese standard. You'll lose future compatability if you go with some third party processed cheese.

CMJ is _NOT_ a hack! It's a specification arrived at by a consortium of major dairy farmers. You'll need future compatability with WDA4 as it sure as hell isn't compatible with anything as it stands today.

This is just plain untrue. First, I never called CMJ a hack (or even mentioned it). This must just be your guilty conscience. Secondly, WDA4 goes far beyond just being a pizza specification - it encompasses anything you can top with cheese. Imagine being able to transfer shredded lettuce from a taco to a pizza - this is reality with WDA4. CMJ only applies to pizzas, and doesn't follow the WDA4 guidelines.

Well, you're the expert in that area.

Oh please, "Oooh, I want to transfer the croutons and dressing from my salad to my pizza." This is rubbish, and can never work. A breadstick, pizza, and salad are all incompatible entrees. Having a pizza that supports 12 different salad dressings just adds useless overhead.

Come on now, CMJ was delevloped _months_ _before_ WDA4 and is in active use today. It's a de facto standard. _You_ made WDA4 incompatible with CMJ.

Please find someone sober to read, very slowly, to you the WDA4 specification. It does not require every entree to support every possible topping of every other entree. Rather it provides a mechanism for entrees to support the sharing of common toppings. If your salad doesn't support anchovies, and both are WDA4 entrees, then the transfer is rejected with an appropriate error message (ERR_BLECH). This is much better than having the anchovies slide off into a users lap.

In some parts of the world there are pizza emulators that run on top of
bagels (Blue States, N America) or English Muffins (Europe). They tend to
be small and you have to be able to hook them together in series to
getting any real pizza power.
