Haiku error messages
Now why didn't MS use these?
Tuesday, January 8, 2008 by Bebi Bulma | Discussion: Personal Computing
*I am not anti-MS in anyway, but this is just plain funny*
The District Attorney's office sends out a "Letter of the Law" newspaper every month via email, and in January's edition I found an article quite amusing.
We've all had to deal with cryptic Windows error messages, but some anonymous individuals decided to transform some of these common messages into Haiku form.
Your file was so big.
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
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 XP crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
First snow, then silence.
This thousand-dollar screen dies
So beautifully.
With searching comes loss
And the presence of absence.
"Your file" not found.
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.
Having been erased,
The document you’re seeking
Must now be retyped.
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
Login incorrect.
Only perfect spellers may
Enter this system.
The BSOD one is probably my fav, and the last one is just for Aaron.
