Is this a strategy to increase the market potential of Heroku? It was mainly meant for "super fast rails" development and deployment, so I'm wondering why Heroku is targeting PHP. Some would say its part of their "all pl

I'm fairly certain ISP owners with high-end hardware would not risk their business running Tor exit nodes.

That's like saying no one will agree on HDMI, or some other interface. The standards are crippled. But look at opengl, java, and c as amazing cross platform technologies that revolutionized computing in some way. Saying the only way to

If Apple and Google put half as much effort into mobile web browsing as they did in proprietary platform development, we'd be further by now. The fact that in today's "build software people want" world you need to do it
