Author Topic: Fuddruckers has a stupid web developer Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-03-2005 02:53 PM                     Well, *apparently* they do! link I heard about this and just had to pass it along. Currently their site www.fuddruckers.com redirects to google.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-03-2005 03:42 PM                        This guy is being an ass. He made something available to the world, complained when someone provided directions (a link) to the content that he made available to the public, and then provided directions (a redirect) to someone else's content (i.e. did exactly the same thing to someone else that he is complaining was done to him). While I would be the first to admit that what Fuddruckers' web monkey did was a) "not very nice" (because it may have imposed and unforseen load on someone else's web server) and b) "not very smart" (because the linked-to content can change at any time), I don't see how they did anything "wrong." Links are part of the web and technical means are available to restrict which hosts can link to yours. If there are no mechanisms used to restrict the availability of content, however, then permission is implied that anyone may visit or link to it. Still, the story is funny as hell.  |  IP: Logged Cory Isemann Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: White Plains, MD, USA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 09-03-2005 03:45 PM                        A little story behind it From YTMND.com  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-03-2005 05:04 PM                     Cory, the link you posted above is word for word from the link I posted at the top of this thread. It's just mine is in plain text instead of annoying flash with cheesy music  |  IP: Logged Cory Isemann Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: White Plains, MD, USA Registered: Jun 2004 posted 09-03-2005 05:07 PM                        (oops)  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-03-2005 05:43 PM                        I ate at Fiddruckers once. It was awful. They are the worst. I hope they get hepatitus B. That would be good.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-03-2005 06:10 PM                        I like Fudd's. Of course I am from Montana where we eat meat. Give me a hamburger that tastes like a hamburger any day (as opposed to one of those nine-dollar seasoning-covered gourmet slop-jobs served up by restaurants) and I'm happy. Fatburgers is better though, I will admit.  |  IP: Logged Bruce Hansen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 847 From: Stone Mountain, GA, USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-03-2005 06:18 PM                     But they dont even serve BEER! Try a Hooters burger, with BEER.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-03-2005 06:26 PM                  To eat a Hooters' burger you *NEED* to have beer ...they are sooo bad! I agree Mike, Fatburger and In-N-Out are the best!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-03-2005 07:58 PM                     Well, with a name that stupid they SHOULD have a stupid web developer !! The best burgers I've had over the years were at Lotta Burger and The Red Onion, both near Okland. Donno if either of them is still around.... We still have a couple of In-And-Outs here in SLC, just fair though and kinda greasy.

But their burgers used to be excellent, WAY better than In-N-Out.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 09-03-2005 10:44 PM                        bah... not that I mind Fuddruckers, but In-N-Out is SO much better - imo  |  IP: Logged Jon Miller Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 973 From: San Diego, CA, USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 09-04-2005 01:33 AM                     Even though the self-service condiments toppings and condiments are a plus and the patties are larger at "Foodwreckers", I don't think they are necessarily better overall than In-n-Out (and Fuddrucker's extra-cost grilled onions border on the awful). The only sit-down burger joint I can think of that can hold a candle to I-N-O is Nation's, a Northern California chain whose San Ramon outlet I visited while in the Bay Area last month. And -- correct me if I'm wrong -- you can photograph your friends inside a Nation's store, unlike at Fuddrucker's with their strict, posted no-cameras policy.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 09-04-2005 02:36 AM                     Hmmmm...just a few blocks south of the Jordan Commons in Sandy..-Monte  |  IP: Logged Tristan Lane Master Film Handler Posts: 444 From: Nampa, Idaho Registered: Feb 2002 posted 09-04-2005 02:47 AM                     The In-and-Out burger joints is SLC are only fair because they have nothing do do with the famous (and very good)In-N-Out burger chain based out of California. In-N-Out buger has locations in California, Nevada, and Arizona. If the suspect joint has a microwave, or a freezer it is not a true In-N-Out  |  IP: Logged
