The only advantage he has over ER doctors is that malpractice suits are rare. On the other hand, ER doctors never have to deal with patients installing new versions of their own innards! 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. H. Goldfuss   No machine will increase the possibilities of life. They only increase the possibilities of idleness. •John Ruskin   All programmers are playwrights and all computers are lousy actors. •Anonymous  Computers can figure out all kinds of problems, except the things in the world that just don't add up. •James Magary  Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. •E W Dijkstra  Where a calculator on the ENIAC is equpped with 18,000 vaccuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only 1,000 vaccuum tubes and perhaps weigh 1 1/2 tons. •Popular Mechanics, 1949  Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done. •Andy Rooney  Not even computers will replace committees, because committees buy computers. •Edward Shepherd Mead  A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. •John Gall   There won't be anything we won't say to people to try and convince them that our way is the way to go. •Bill Gates  If you can't make it good, at least make it look good. •Bill Gates  Looking at the proliferation of personal web pages on the net, it looks like very soon everyone on earth will have 15 Megabytes of fame. •MG Siriam   Surfing on the Internet is like sex; everyone boasts about doing more than they actually do.

They've got the internet on computers now! •Homer Simpson  Man is a game playing animal and a computer is another way to play games. •Scott Adams  I do not fear computers. I fear lack of them. •Isaac Asimov   Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idoits.

But a rational life, the life of a valuer, does not consist essentially in reaction. It consists in action. Man does not find his values, like the other animals; he creates them. The primary focus of a valuer is not to take the world as it comes and pass judgment. His primary focus is to identify what might and ought to exist, to uncover potentialities that he can exploit, to find ways of reshaping the world in the image of his values.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[March: Its tree, Juniper. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26370]]></link><description><![CDATA[March: Its tree, Juniper.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The really frightening thing about middle age is the knowledge that you'll grow out of it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1849]]></link><description><![CDATA[The really frightening thing about middle age is the knowledge that you'll grow out of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Their hearts sweat with undivulged guilt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50512]]></link><description><![CDATA[Their hearts sweat with undivulged guilt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hospitality sitting with gladness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hospitality sitting with gladness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is hardly any personal defect which an agreeable manner might not gradually reconcile one to ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15442]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is hardly any personal defect which an agreeable manner might not gradually reconcile one to]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We introduced some new products this year, and the response has been tremendous, ...
