"It's as if our electric grid didn't even have fences around it. This is disgraceful what we do, and what we don't do, to protect the Internet." -- Paul Vixie
Paul Vixie is the author of several RFC and standard UNIX system programs, among them SENDS, proxynet, rtty and Vixie cron.

Vixie served as a judge for the Mozilla Foundation's "Download Day", an attempt to set a Guiness World Record for most downloads in a single day for a new piece of software.
