In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft error messages with Haiku poetry messages. These are used to communicate a timeless message, often achieving a wistful, powerful, insight through extreme brevity. Here are 16 actual error messages from Japan.

-------------------
The web site you are seeking 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. (My personal favorite.)
-------------------
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.
