[英]ソニーエラーメッセージ集

ソニーエラーメッセージ集

半年ほど前に回ってきたジョークメールです。
エラーメッセージがえらく詩的で哲学的で大笑い感心しました。

★★★

ソニーは今話題の自社製最新ポータブルコンピューターVaioに独自のOSを搭載したと発表しました。
マイクロソフトのウィンドウズやDOSオペレーティングシステムで見られるような不可解なエラーメッセージの代わりに、「西洋文化主導を反映してきた－今までは－OSに、人間性それも日本的なものを加えることで優位な立場に立つことを狙いとしました」とはソニー会長アサイタワラのコメントです。

「例えばマイクロソフトの、人間味がなく役にも立たないエラーメッセージを、日本の俳句型メッセージに置き換えました」

エラーメッセージ集

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

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

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

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

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

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

ABORTED effort:
Close all that you have worked on.
You ask way too much.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

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

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

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.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

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.
