• Intel 4004 (un wp g gun gwp | eb 1911 co gct sw yt) - Part of a series on Intel CPUs? Not actually used in a computer per se, but this is the best place I could think of for this request

Networking

This section is about the normal operation of computer networks. For network vulnerabilities, see Hacking and security (above).

• Bandwidth (un wp g gun gwp | eb 1911 co gct sw yt)
• Content delivery network (abbreviated CDN) (un wp g gun gwp | eb 1911 co gct sw yt)
• ISP or Internet service provider (un wp g gun gwp | eb 1911 co gct sw yt)
• Linksys (un wp g gun gwp | eb 1911 co gct sw yt) - and mention the error message "Upgrade are failed!" shown by their home routers for firmware upgrades

• OSI model (un wp g gun gwp | eb 1911 co gct sw yt)

• Transmission Control Protocol (un wp g gun gwp | eb 1911 co gct sw yt) - perhaps make it something about STDs or car transmissions? - Note that TCP is currently an article on a different topic (The Canadian Communist Party); it will need to be moved, and then the redirect will need to be replaced with a disambiguation.
• Telnet (un wp g gun gwp | eb 1911 co gct sw yt) - I can't think of how to set it out, maybe with an Uncyclux-esque style to it? Or just a normal lay-out?

Systems administration and tech support

• BOFH or Bastard Operator From Hell (un wp g gun gwp | eb 1911 co gct sw yt), see rm *, Game:Pick Up the Phone Booth and Aisle/rm and Robert Heinlein#Life for context; references newer stories older stories
• I am service - message from preinstalled software on some Asus (un wp g gun gwp | eb 1911 co gct sw yt) computers; see also The Daily WTF post
• kill -9 (un wp g gun gwp | eb 1911 co gct sw yt) - possible redirect to UnNews:Linux: Every time you use EXT3, Hans Reiser kills again?
