windows errors in haiku

[Yauf]

Mein Favorit ist das 5te tja ... Windows is like that
Das erste lässt sich auch in Galeon finden wenn Fehler 404 auftritt.
Tut es in euer fortune file wenn es euch beliebt...

Japanese replacements for Microsoft error messages:
"In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error
messages with Haiku poetry messages. Haiku poetry has strict construction
rules - each poem has only 17 syllables; 5 syllables in the first, 7 in the
second, 5 in the third. They are used to communicate a timeless message,
often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme
brevity.

Here are 16 actual error messages from Japan.

The Web site you seek
Cannot be located, but
Countless more exist.


----------------------

Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.


-------------------------

Program aborting:
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask far too much.


--------------------------

Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.

----------------------------

Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.

-----------------------------
Your file was so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.


---------------------

Stay the patient course.
Of little worth is your ire.
The network is down.

-----------------------------

A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.

---------------------------

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.

----------------------------

You step in the stream,
But the water has moved on.
This page is not here.

----------------------------

Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.


-------------------------

Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.

----------------------------

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

Japanese replacements for Microsoft error messages:

Mein liebstes in Englisch:
haikus inventor
must have had seven fingers
on his middle hand


Sind zwar nicht Windows spezifisch:

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
%
A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
%
Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
%
Errors have occurred.
We won't tell you where or why.
Lazy programmers.
%
Seeing my great fault
Through darkening blue windows
I begin again
%
The code was willing,
It considered your request,
But the chips were weak.
%
Printer not ready.
Could be a fatal error.
Have a pen handy?
%
Server's poor response
Not quick enough for browser.
Timed out, plum blossom.
%
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
%
Login incorrect.
Only perfect spellers may
enter this system.
%
This site has been moved.
We'd tell you where, but then we'd
have to delete you.
%
wind catches lily
scatt'ring petals to the wind:
segmentation fault
%
ABORTED effort:
Close all that you have.
You ask way too much.
%
First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
so beautifully.
%
With searching comes loss
and the presence of absence:
"My Novel" not found.
%
The Tao that is seen
Is not the true Tao, until
You bring fresh toner.
%
The Web site you seek
cannot be located but
endless others exist
%
Stay the patient course
Of little worth is your ire
The network is down
%
A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a simple stone.
%
There is a chasm
of carbon and silicon
the software can't bridge
%
Yesterday it worked
Today it is not working
Windows is like that
%
To have no errors
Would be life without meaning
No struggle, no joy
%
You step in the stream,
but the water has moved on.
This page is not here.
%
No keyboard present
Hit F1 to continue
Zen engineering?
%
Hal, open the file
Hal, open the damn file, Hal
open the, please Hal
%
Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.
%
Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.
%
The ten thousand things
How long do any persist?
Netscape, too, has gone.
%
Rather than a beep
Or a rude error message,
These words: "File not found."
%
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
