New Microsoft error messages.

[kris]

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 three lines, 17 syllables: five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third.

Haiku is used to communicate a timeless message often achieving a
wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity -- the essence of
Zen:

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

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

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

The Website 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.

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

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.

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

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.
