i've already wrote how threading affect us (the free lunch is over) and that threading is the future (here come the cores). today i came across two interesting articles about practices for multithread programming:

• Associate Mutexes with Data to Prevent Races
• Know When to Use an Active Object Instead of a Mutex

if you're doing any concurrency, these are must-read ones!
