Paul Vixie Quotations

Everyone connected to the internet acts globally. it is wildly foolish to think locally.

Fragmentation is like classful addressing -- an interesting early architectural error that shows how much experimentation was going on while IP was being designed.

The internet has no government, no constitution, no laws, no rights, no police, no courts. Don't talk about fairness or innocence, and don't talk about what should be done. Instead, talk about what is being done and what will be done by the amorphous unreachable undefinable blob called the internet user base.

Being obscure in acronyms is great. I think I'll start making up my own... INYM - I'm Not Your Momma.

With usenet gone, we just don't teach our kids entertainment-level hyperbole any more.

Personally i prefer the MX RR and a stylized name, but i was trying to solve the problem rather than create an industry.

The war won't be over until the last spammer's head is stuck onto a spear at the city limits.

The Internet is no longer the kind of thing where only six guys in the world can build it. Now, you can write a couple of checks and get one of your own.

ISC remains deeply apologetic that prior versions of BIND did not properly catch the configuration error that you appear to have built your business on.

ISC found that speaking to vendors through the CERT advisory process was somewhat awkward and made for extra work on both sides, ... The next time we learn, through CERT or otherwise, that there is an attackable bug in code that we've published, we hope to have a direct and very private communications forum with the people who run the Internet infrastructure or who need lead time to prepare patches for their customers.
