    reflections

    A Japanese academic, Kanta Matsuura, in the Economics Faculty reports:
    In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error
    messages with their own Japanese haiku poetry, each only 17 syllables, 5
    syllables in the first line, 7 in the second and 5 in the third.


    Your file 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.
    ----------
    ABORTED effort:
    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
    Bukhari:V3B48N826 “The Prophet said, ‘Isn’t the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?’ The women said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘This is because of the deficiency of a woman’s mind.’”
