Dick Maliska  Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way. This happens to us all the time with computers, and nobody thinks of complaining. •Jeff Raskin   Applying computer technology is simply finding the right wrench to pound in the correct screw. •Anonymous   The Programmer's Time-Space Continuum is defined as "Programmers continuously space the time." •Leon Lanthier   Computers are useless - they only give you answers. •Pablo Picasso   "Paradosfunctionoracle" is the term used by technicians to describe the reason no one knows why your computer won't work. •J.

Now, I do not want here to discuss whether the miraculous is possible: I only want to point out that this is a purely philosophical question. Scholars, as scholars, speak on it with no more authority than anyone else. The canon, "If miraculous, unhistorical", is one they bring to their study of the texts, not one they have learned from it. If one is speaking of authority, the united authority of all the Biblical critics in the world counts for nothing. On this they speak simply as men -- men obviously influenced by, and perhaps insufficiently critical of, the spirit of the age they grew up in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8532</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This speck of life in time's great wilderness This narrow isthmus 'twixt two boundless seas,  The past, the future, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14205]]></link><description><![CDATA[This speck of life in time's great wilderness This narrow isthmus 'twixt two boundless seas,  The past, the future, two eternities!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who dares, wins. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28114]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who dares, wins.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28114</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Agitation is that part of our intellectual life where vitality results; there ideas are born, breed and bring forth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1911]]></link><description><![CDATA[Agitation is that part of our intellectual life where vitality results; there ideas are born, breed and bring forth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1911</guid></item></channel></rss>
