Originally posted by Square JawNo really, I had said that earlier. McDonald's is in gas stations too, but they're pretty large and are usually in tourist trap areas. Every kangaroo station around here is likely to have a subway shoved in the corner. McDonald's usually won't be without a drive-thru even at the gas station. Does Subway make ANY drive-thru money? 😮💨
O.K. 🙄

I don't know, I saw more subways in Asia than Medonanlds; although, their were a lot of both.
Well Facebook doesn't have to worry about the same supply problems that McDonald's does. They make a lot more money than they have to spend on materials. Considering that factor Facebook seems geared to quickly take it's place alongside giants like walmart, Microsoft, McDonald's ,and Disney. I know that it seems like a fad but resources are resources and Facebook is stocking up. If something doesn't compete soon it could have a potential global monopoly and stifle innovation. How much of a possibility does that have of happening?

Dude, I found an even scarier "bug" with Facebook: if you can capture the traffic from someone signing into Facebook, it does not matter if they are using HTTPS or not: their username and password are transmitted in mostly plaintext, which defeats the purpose of using HTTPS (SSL or TLS).
Before anyone calls bullshit, I ****ing ran the packet sniffer, myself, and had the credentials right there on the screen. This was just an accidental discovery during a school project.
Here's slightly good news: if you use special characters in your username or password, they are "muddied up" with the ASCII values instead of being plain. They were either the decimal of hexadecimal values...maybe the hex.
So if you password is: "Poopy@butt", it transmits like this:
Poopy%40%butt
The percent signs were used to separate out the symbols from the plaintext.
Anyway, after discovering this, ALL I would have to do to capture your credentials, even if you set Facebook to use HTTPS, is just be on the same network (wireless) and capture all traffic on that Access Point. OR, use the same hub. OR trick you into using my proxy server so I could capture all of your traffic.
To me, that was effin' scary. The sessions should be encrypted, not transmitting credentials in almost plain text.

Diversification is good, but you still have to hit a target demographic, something McDonalds has done.
Originally posted by The MISTERIt started out at a more specific group, but it has some target appeal, like the people who use it to play farmville and things like that.

McDonald's may be young but it's not going to lose to a fledgling ffood restaurant.
Just wait until the liberals get their way and impose their draconian health laws upon society even further, McDonald's will go the way of the Dodo. That or it will become "healthy" and thereby McDonald's in name only.
