A TimeOut? is the period after which an action or request is no longer valid.
Many network and disk operations set timeouts, to tell the underlying drivers to return an error rather than continuing to retry an operation indefinitely. On the WorldWideWeb TimeOut?s can mean that a remote machine has crashed or is unreachable. Cookies, sessions and Kerberos tokens also have a TimeOut? which means that they are useless after that time.
Also a chain of video game arcades. And where naughty children are set to consider their actions.
