[lug] OT: M$ Error Msg through Haiku poetry

[Ferdinand Schmid]

HI,
This message made it to my desk today.  You just need to have humor when 
working with computers, especially when using this OS from this company 
out North-West ;)

The Japanese have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful
Microsoft error messages with Haiku poetry messages.
Haiku poetry has strict construction rules - each poem
has only 17 syllables; 5 syllables in the first, 7 in
the second, 5 in the third. They are used to communicate
a timeless message, often achieving a wistful, yearning
and powerful insight through extreme brevity. Here are
16 actual error messages from Japan.
