[buug] Errors in Haiku

(From unknown author):

Imagine if, instead of incomprehensible geek text strings, your
computer produced error messages in Haiku...
  
A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
  
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
  
Aborted effort.
Close all that you have.
You ask far too much.
  
Windows NT crashed.
I am the Blue Screen of Death.
No one hears your screams.
  
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.
  
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 re-typed.
  
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
  
Now here are a few of my own:

        LCD is better for your eyes.
        Costs too much? Steal it. 
        Health comes first.

        Who taught you computers,
        foolish know-nothing slave?
        Shut up: pound those keys.      

        Joystick is but a fleeting
        satisfaction. Much better:
        cordless mouse.
