   Amazing. Thanks for the info. I think I love the company already. The t-shirt was funny. The free trademark is also clever. The freebox is also an interesting piece of equipment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebox

    Pardon my ignorance, but if you program in multi-threads using a high level language what assurance do you have that the code will run in parallel on the chip level/lower level. Assuming that you're running a multi-core processor, that is.
