ETA: Forget it! Seems intermittent now. Just tried again and did NOT work. So guess it's not the plugin. Dunno


Hehe, oh well, maybe we should wait and see if they get it right sometime. Razz

 		It worked for me once, and then an hour later it didn't work.
Arrow became unclickable.

I have a feeling this may have been a glitch, and it's something we weren't supposed to see yet.

Now, it doesn't.
I think we weren't supposed to see it yet.

EDIT:

I tried to open on my work browser and it would not work. But this is the same browser that will not let me do on-line banking. I tried on the other server web browser and got this. Has anyone else seen this screen before?

 		The left arrow is clickable, the right is not. I'm on a mac using firefox, on east coast and it works. At least for now.

But you can't do anything with it just yet, so don't freak out.

 		been doing some googling found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talker

History of talkers
[edit] Early Internet talkers

In the school year of 1983-1984, Mark Jenks and Todd Krause, two students at Washington High School in Milwaukee, wrote a software program for talking among a group of people.[4] They used the PDP-11 at the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) central office. After searching around the PDP-11 files and directories, Mark found the PDP-11 program talk, and decided that they could do better. The system had approximately 40 300-2400 bit per second modems attached to it, with a single phone number with a hunt group. The talk program was named TALK and was written to handle many options that are seen in IRC today: tables, private messages, actions, moderators and inviting to tables.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_%28Unix%29
talk was a program originally used for live text communication between different users of a single multi-user computer running the Unix operating system. In 1983, a new version of talk was introduced as a Unix command with BSD v4.2, and would also accommodate electronic 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 messaging 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 other participants of the conversation had seen it all happen in real time.

talk was previously available on the DEC PDP-11 computer system in the 1970s. In that earlier form, talk did not separate text from each user. Thus, if each user were to type simultaneously, characters from each user were intermingled. Since slow teletype keyboards were used at the time (11 characters per second maximum), users often could not wait for each other to finish. It was common etiquette for a long typing user to stop when intermingling occurs to see the listener's interrupting response. This is much the same as interrupting a long monologue when speaking in person.

The more modern Unix version of talk uses curses to break the terminal into multiple zones for each user, thus avoiding intermingling text.

 		^Good stuff. Doesn't fit in with the printouts. Either that or they haven't 'intermingled' yet and are damn lucky.

I think fibble666's find does fit in with the printouts. Nice find BTW fibble! I think what we are seeing on the printouts is just whats described, they probably knew about the intermingling of the text in the chat so they use the arrows to make a page/line break in the conversation. Make complete sense to me. The only issue I find is the insertion of the pictures withing the chat document, but this is an ARG for a movie so not everything will be explainable.
