the problem is that even with such articles and detailed descriptions of 
the "problem" poeple tends to think that these types of errors do not 
touch their multithreaded development - because "the others have 
problems not i" and only a few people have seen multithreading errors
they are the very same as the aliens in the x-files tv-serie

aliens => multithreading race condititons
*the unknown
*the hidden
*in contact with the government

fox mulder => the expert doing threading
*known that aliens do exists
*try to catch them
*try to prevent others from being catched
*always telling dana that "the truth is out there"

dana scully => newbie to experienced developer
*got a feeling that aliens maybe could exist
*thinks that fox mulder is not an rational thinking guy
*not willing to see the truth
