1. You have made it VERY DIFFICULT for anyone to see the context of your question. That url is actually an image! (Why?)

2. Anyway I laboriously typed it in and this is what I got:

Quote:
Server not found

Firefox can't find the server at i.odxy.cn.


Then I realised that the o is not an o it's a zero, so I typed that and got

Quote:
403 - Forbidden


So what are you playing at?

"paging" in general means telling someone that someone else is trying to get in touch with them. In the stereotypical situation a century ago, bellhops, the lackeys in hotels, would walk through the lobby of the hotel, where guests would go to hang out, read the paper, waiti for the dining room to open, calling "Paging Phillip Morris", if someone had left a message for him, or there was someone who'd showed up at the desk and wanted to meet him, and so on.

@contrex,
You'd open the page in Opera and it will be oday.

The image link:

If you just get 403 forbidden page, read the copy I get from the image:
On TIME magazine cover, it reads:

HEALTH CARE
SPECIAL REPORT
Paging
Dr. Obama

It's an analogy to a hospital's public addres system (the loudspeakers in public places) which will say something like "Paging Dr. Obama, Dr. Obama please call extension 4532). the doctor is somewhere unknown in the halls of the hospital, and the administration has an urgent message they need to get to him, so they page him to call a phone number extension to get his message. Whatever your source his, they think they have an important message for Obama on health care, presumably, and are trying to get his attention.

Opera, IE8, Firefox, Seamonkey all the same - "403 Forbidden"
