Talk

:''This article is about the Unix program; for spoken communication, see Speech.'' talk is a program used for live text communication between users on multiuser computers running the Unix operating system. talk eventually accommodated conversations between users on different machines. Follow-ons to talk included ntalk and ytalk. ytalk was the first to allow conversations between more than two users. All of these programs split the interface into different sections for each participant. The interfaces did not convey the order in which statements typed by different participants would be reassembled into a log of the conversation. Also, all three programs transmitted each character as it was typed, lending a more immediate feel to the discussion than recent instant messenger clients or irc. Users more familiar with other forms of instant text communication would sometimes find themselves in embarrassing situations by typing something and deciding to withdraw the statement, unaware that the other user(s) had seen it all happen in real time. A popular program called "flash", which send malformed information via the talk protocol, was frequently used by pranksters to corrupt the terminal output of the unlucky target in the early 1990s. It did this by including terminal commands in the field normally designated for providing the name of the person making the request. When the victim would receive the talk request, the name of the person sending the request would be displayed on their screen. This would cause the terminal commands to execute, rendering the person's display unreadable until they reset it. Later versions of talk blocked "flash" attempts and alerted the user that one had taken place. == See also == * Talk Magazine

I'm think someone should move this page and place it under a more appropriate title. Redirect this one to be about... talking! Any objections/supporters? --User:Figs :Not sure I really see the point. There's already speech, and there's already a link ''to'' that article from here. Are you proposing a separate article? A redirect? User:Alai 14:25, 23 May 2005 (UTC) :Yeah, I mean, redirect this one to speech and then move this to something else. Maybe Talk (unix) or Talk (program)? Whichever is more appropriate. --User:Figs 22:49, 27 May 2005 (UTC) ::Still not at all sure I see the purpose in doing that. Is it really a hazard to navigation to have an article in this part of the namespace? Granted speech is by far the more important topic, but it's a matter of one extra link to reach that article, vs. having to play "hunt the article" if this article redirects there. A disambig would be somewhat more palatable, but also unnecessary when it comes right down to it. User:Alai 23:00, 27 May 2005 (UTC) ---- After reviewing past revisions of this page, it seems to me as if someone accidentally created this page assuming it was a subpage. But I thought it still might serve a useful purpose – talk ''about'' /Talk pages. For instance, see the :Wikipedia-L discussion about Talk policy starting at http://www.nupedia.com/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2001-August/000366.html. ''<>< User:Tim Chambers'' ---- Already been done. :-) See :Talk Page. Actually, I think "Talk" should probably be reserved for an article about the important phenomenon of, well, talk! Maybe the topic would be better placed under :conversation, though, or some other word. ---- :Wikipedians might find value in a tool called [http://www.quicktopic.com QuickTopic]. It is a "free, preposterously easy instant discussion space." It might fill a gap between this page and :Wikipedia-L. That is, if any gaps are found between those two existing mechanisms. ---- Gaps? What gaps? ---- But should this go under :conversation instead? I don't know, I'm not a linguist or communications expert. Not all talking is conversation, either in the general sense of talking to another person or in the stricter sense of talking to another person and listening to that other person also. Perhaps this page should be strictly for the physical phenomenon of human talking. Or should that be under :speech? :-) --user:Koyaanis Qatsi Speech is the saying of the words (i.e. a transmitter), but in no way implies that the listener (reciever) has actually gotten anything out of it. That is how :User Datagram Protocol protocol is structured. I think that talking to an active reviever :Transmission Control Protocol is really what conversation is about, but communication of ideas requiring understanding on the part of the reciever is very far beyond the scope of talk. :If I talk to a duck, that is a speech, for while the duck may hear, not much else is happening. -- User:Mike Dill Somebody send us a linguist. ;-) --user:Koyaanis Qatsi Ask user:Gritchka. --user:Damian Yerrick ---- Any decision made on this yet? Seems like the article could be considered redundant with other articles and hard to define based on what I've seen here... Should we keep it? user:Rgamble ==If you create this page, geeks will come== If you delete this page, geeks will want to create it again. Some people will travel thousands of miles to see the [http://www.recordball.com/ Worlds Largest Rubber Band Ball]. I went to Talk just so I could come in Talk:Talk and see "Talk:Talk" (see: [http://wiktionary.org/wiki/Recursion recursion]). The experience was less frustraiting than Talk:Sex but not as good as User:Sex. User:JWSchmidt 05:05, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC) ---- I have removed this paragraph because I thought it didn't really add something to the article and sounds like a joke to me. User:Sietse Snel 11:34, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC) :Talk is also used when talking to other people, in Standard English you would say "i am talking to someone" However this varies when we look at Australian, South African or Estuary English. This is due to changes in dialect. In Standard Australian English, one would say 'I'm talkin' to someone darl'" and in South African one would say, "I'm talking to someone, yis?" and in Estuary English one would say, "Can't yoow see im talkin' to someone love? Just give me a minute." Chavs completely mangle the word "talk" and would instead say "Your chattin` sh*t". And thus the history of the english language is clearer for another day. + sleep tight kids!
