    Haiku
    -=-=-=-=-=-

    Imagine if instead of cryptic, geeky text strings, your computer produced error messages in Haiku... they would read like these:

    A file that big?
    It might be very useful.
    But now it is gone.

    The Web site you seek
    cannot be located,
    but endless others exist

    Chaos reigns within.
    Reflect, repent, and reboot.
    Order shall return.

    ABORTED effort:
    Close all that you have.
    You ask far too much.

    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.

    Windows NT crashed.
    I am the Blue Screen of Death.
    No one hears your screams.

    Stay the patient course.
    Of little worth is your ire.
    The network is down.

    A crash reduces
    your expensive computer
    to a simple stone.

    Yesterday it worked.
    Today it is not working
    'Windows' is like that.

    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.

    Rather than a beep
    or a rude error message,
    these words: "File not found."

    Serious error.
    All shortcuts have disappeared.
    Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

    Hacker Haiku

    * The Hacker

    Don't fear the hacker
    he just enjoys the challenge
    ...of cleaning your disk!

    * Gates' Law

    Great chips run high speeds
    but bloatware slows to crawl
    heat is main output

    * The Script Kiddie

    My server was hacked
    SSH had a hole
    now my box is 0wned

    * Turbo Mode

    Overclock your box
    it is very fast ... at first
    warranty now void

    * The Ghost Ship Bug

    The bug seemed so small
    Game database was trashed
    I must start new game

    * Email Dilemma

    Mail is killer app
    spam overflows my quota
    I need new mailbox

    * Code Red II

    My website was so grand
    until the day it changed
    to an odd demand

    * The Email Virus

    Don't open that file!
    it has a strange subject line...
    you mail all your friends

    * The Buggy OS

    My box crashed again
    the registry was corrupt
    Slackware brought it up

    * The IT Shuffle

    One group gets upgrade
    next group can't read their files
    Now they upgrade too
