Wheel 'O Yum
The Wheel 'O Yum is a program to assist in deciding where to eat. All too often, excess time is spent among groups trying to decide. The Wheel 'O Yum allows people to vote on their favorite restaurants and spin the wheel for a random restaurant.

Recent releases
- 11 Apr 2006 06:36
Changes: The appearance of the wheel has been improved by adding more color and increasing the visibility of the selected restaurant slice. Performance of rendering the wheel while it is spinning has been improved. The option to render the wheel with 3-dimensional separators has been removed. A regression bug in which voting was still possible when the wheel was spinning was fixed.
- 16 Mar 2006 06:25
Changes: The base package name was changed from "Lunch.Decision.Helper" to "com.wheeloyum.wheeloyum". A bug in which properly-sized icons could not be selected was fixed. The user storage XML format was changed. A bug in which the status dialog would not display sometimes was fixed.
- 21 Feb 2006 07:29
Changes: Restaurant voting has been changed to only offer 3 options (Yes, No, and Don't Care) and to present them as individual buttons instead of a drop-down selection. Votes are now automatically cast after each modification. The version of Java being used is verified for compatibility. Restaurants which are excluded from the wheel are now visually identified.

Changes: HTTP tunneling capability was added to the applet, client, and server. A progress monitor dialog was added for certain long-running operations.

Changes: The Wheel 'O Yum application is now available entirely online through your Web browser. The performance of the networking implementation has been improved for speed and scalability. The chat component performance has been improved. The Applet's JAR footprint has been reduced. This release fixes a regression bug that prevented the server from running in a headless environment, a regression bug that prevented the Applet from re-embedding itself into the browser, and a performance issue relating to saving data.

Perhaps you should re-read what he said, clearly he states they should not even be on there as choices. They aren't "food" apparently, by his own words. I couldn't care less about fast food, or unhealthy food in general; to each his own, and informing people is a wonderful thing. God don't we all know the entire world could use a schooling. Where'd the political tirade emerge from? So what you're saying is a single quality inherent in a specific polticial group cannot exist in any others? I beg to differ.

Get off your high horse and learn to read. He's asking you to CHOOSE not to eat fast food and providing documentary evidence to inform your FREE CHOICE. Offtopic, yes, fascist, no. Also get a clue about politics. Fascism and liberalism are diametrically opposite ideologies. Mussolini declared among his objectives to defeat enlightenment liberalism and then-modern socialism, while Hitler was big on fighting communism and labour unions, restoring a Christian nation and family values, and having pride in the nation and its armed forces. There was nothing like the liberal respect for individual freedom and free choice except for in business where both maintained a relatively free market with government favouritism comparable to modern capitalism.

Rad. This has saved many an hour of debate at my company also.
Re: McDonalds? PizzaHut?
So, now you're telling us where to eat? The beauty of America is, it's free -- We're free to choose to be health nuts, or avid fast food consumers. We may run 5 miles a day, or walk 5 miles in our entire lifetime. The choice is up to us, and people like yourself who want to force what you feel is "best" for us, is equivalent to facism.
Hmmmm, and I bet you're a liberal.. Interesting.
