Haiku Error Messages

The Web site you seek
cannot be located but
countless others exist

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.

Everything is gone;
Your life's work has been destroyed.
Squeeze trigger (yes/no)?

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

Seeing my great fault
Through darkening blue windows
I begin again

The code was willing,
It considered your request,
But the chips were weak.

Printer not ready.
Could be a fatal error.
Have a pen handy?

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

Errors have occurred.
We won't tell you where or why.
Lazy programmers.

Server's poor response
Not quick enough for browser.
Timed out, plum blossom.

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

Login incorrect.
Only perfect spellers may
enter this system.

This site has been moved.
We'd tell you where, but then we'd
have to delete you.

Wind catches lily
scatt'ring petals to the wind:
segmentation fault

ABORTED effort:
Save and close all that you have.
You ask way 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.

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

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

A crash reduces
your expensive computer
to a simple stone.

Mouse Balls

This apparently was a real memo sent at a computer company to its employees in all seriousness.

This memo is from an unnamed computer company. It went to all field engineers about a computer peripheral problem. The author of this memo was quite serious. The engineers rolled on the floor.


"Mouse Balls"

Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Units).

Therefore, if a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop-off method. Domestic balls are replaced by the twist-off method. Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge.

Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse can be used immediately.

It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction.

Any customer missing his balls should suspect local personnel of removing these necessary items.

Lol

It's pretty bad if you start typing "lol" as if it were a sentence (Lol.)

Its worse if you start saying, "laugh out loud" in everday conversations.

It's absolutely horrible if you actually say, "l-o-l."

Things You Learn From Video Games

Things You Learn from Video Games

There is no problem that cannot be overcome by force.

If it moves, DESTROY IT!

Piloting any vehicle is simple and requires no training.

One lone "good guy" can defeat an infinite number of "badguys."

Make sure you eat all food lying on the ground.

You can break things and get away with it.

You can push other vehicles off the road and get away with it.

If someone dies, they disappear.

If you get mad enough, you can fight even better.

You can overcome most adversaries simply by having enough quarters.

You can operate all weapons without training.

No matter how long you fight, you can always fight again.

Death is reversible (only for you!)

Ninjas are common, and frequently fight in public.

Whenever big fat mean guys are about to croak, they begin flashing red or yellow.

You never run out of ammunition, just grenades.

All women wear revealing clothes and have great bodies.

Shoot everything. If it blows up or dies, it was bad.

Don't worry if your vehicle crashes and explodes. A new vehicle will appear in its place.

A thousand-to-one odds against you is NOT a problem.

Windows

A mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer and a MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) were out driving, when their car broke down, and they couldn't get it started.
The mechanical engineer suggested that it was a failure somewhere in the drive train, but after checking it out he found that the engine and transmission were fine.
The electrical engineer thought it might be the ignition system; lifted the hood, checked for a spark, and found that everything was OK.
The MCSE was driving, and suddenly gets out of the car, slams the door, opens the hood and looks inside, slams that, gets back into the car, opens and closes all the windows and looks at his passengers and says, "There, it should start right up now..."

Worm Overload Recreational Killer

There is a dangerous virus being passed around electronically, orally, and by hand.

This virus is called Worm-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss, or anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely.

If you should come into contact with WORK, put your jacket on and take two good friends to the nearest grocery store. Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolating-Neutralizer-Extract (WINE) or Bothersome-Employer-Elimination-Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

You should forward this warning to five friends. If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.

You Know You're a Video Game Freak If ...

You know you're a video game freak if ...

You hire a babysitter to watch your video games.

When you go swimming you put your nintendo D.S. in the glove box so no one will try to commit a felony and try to steal it.

You cry when your data gets deleted.

When you lose a disc you blame everyone you can so you can be in denial.

You have every system since the pong game.

You know who and when created all of your games.

You are eaisly entertained when you hear that the nintendo stock market raises.

You talk to your friends for two hours discussing which is better: Age of mythology or Age of Empires, only to come to the conclusion that you're eating pizza tonight to discuss it deeper.

When you get on to someone elses computer you refer to yourself as a "hacker."

You pray that to God that there's no power outage in the next 3 days because you have to do some "light" gaming.

Fireworks

A special kind of firework with very bright colors and little smoke was accidentally discovered when a man tried to make the atomic bomb safer.

That defeats the original purpose.
