|
The following have been recently suggested as possible error messages for our system. I thought I'd share them with you.....
-tg/akm
------------------------------------------------------
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.
--------------------------------------------
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.
--------------------------------------------
I ate your Web page
Forgive me; it was tasty
And tart on my tongue |

Why does this make me think of Haiku?

I would prefer getting error messages like these! 
At least then you'd have something to smile about (even if it's more of a pained grimace!  )
But I guess there's too many people with no sense of humor at all.
@BuyerQueen:
Your mind is confused.
Programmers have many skills.
Haiku is not one.
Spoiler: | Sooooo sorry!!! Couldn't resist! |

At the dawn of the day,
I found this post
And laughed a lot!

A developer can't do his job well, while not having that blog bookmarked :-) |

You gotta love the geniuses at Apple. It makes sense, if you think real hard about it for about 5 minutes.
