PageNet, also known as Paging Network, Inc., was founded in 1981 by entrepreneur George Perrin and ceased in 1999.. The company grew to become the largest wireless messaging company in the world, with more than 10 million pagers in service, and $1 billion in revenues, before the paging industry's rapid decline in the late 1990s.
In computer science, thrashing occurs in a system with virtual memory when a computer's real storage resources are overcommitted, leading to a constant state of paging and page faults, slowing most application-level processing. [1] This causes the performance of the computer to degrade or even collapse. The situation can continue indefinitely ...
An internetwork is the connection of multiple different types of computer networks to form a single computer network using higher-layer network protocols and connecting them together using routers. The Internet is the largest example of internetwork. It is a global system of interconnected governmental, academic, corporate, public, and private ...
Congestive collapse (or congestion collapse) is the condition in which congestion prevents or limits useful communication. Congestion collapse generally occurs at choke points in the network, where incoming traffic exceeds outgoing bandwidth. Connection points between a local area network and a wide area network are common choke points.
Code folding example on PHP code with Vim. Code or text folding, or less commonly holophrasting, [1] is a feature of some graphical user interfaces that allows the user to selectively hide ("fold") or display ("unfold") parts of a document.

The year 2038 problem (also known as Y2038, [1] Y2K38, Y2K38 superbug, The Unix Y2K38 bug, [2] or the Epochalypse [2] [3] [4]) is a time computing problem that prevents some computer systems from representing times after 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038.
For example, under certain conditions a large power grid can collapse after the failure of a single transformer. Monitoring the operation of a system, in real-time, and judicious disconnection of parts can help stop a cascade. Another common technique is to calculate a safety margin for the system by computer simulation of possible failures, to ...
