"Haiku Error Messages"
In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal
and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with
Haiku poetry messages. They're 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.

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

Did you see that screen?
The one with error message.
Now you must reboot.

From the highly classified MS Windows 2000 MSCE I Ching:
Hexagram 16: Stop 0x0000000A Irql_Not_Less_or_Equal
The Judgement:
Stop 0x0000000A Irql_Not_Less_or_Equal
Undertakings bring misfortune.
Perseverance furthers.
It furthers one to have something else to do.
The Image:
Blue comes forth from the screen:
The Image of Disaster.
The superior man reflashes the BIOS.
No blame.
