I ate way too much pizza tonight. I know I'll be sorry tomorrow morning when I step on the scale. That darn scale tells me right off if I'm getting bloated. It should be just as easy with programs, right? If you're running on a low-memory system -- and these days, anything with less than two gigabytes qualifies as low-memory -- it would be handy to know which programs have been spending a little too much at the pizza and ice cream joints and not enough time at the gym.

Akkana does a good job in this article except for one thing she gets completely wrong: there is no such thing as too much pizza.

I disagree. Every so often you need to switch it up. Think chinese or tacos...

I'm thinking. Hmmm... Chinese pizza? Taco pizza? See... that could work!

@Scott:

Take one pizza, done how you like it.

Add a splash of taco salsa, sprinkle with soy sauce.

Chinese Taco Pizza.

Scott, if you ever visit I could probably make a Chinese Taco Pizza that would be nothing like that nauseating sounding thing gus3 suggested. My housemate makes an awesome pizza sauce and I have been known to make crust from dough. Nothing out of a jar or can here.... I'd use Mexican spiced ground beef (or imitation ground beef if you're vegetarian) and some sort of Chinese veggie as topping.

Or you could get chinese delivered. It comes with a fortun cookie.

@alc that is true grilled pizza is the bomb.

@ chalbersma: A four ton cookie? How many people does that feed. I've heard of fortune cookies with Chinese food but never fortun (four ton) cookies :)
