static Random doesn't work in multi threading without locking...

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use multiple threads (e.g. parallel linq) to create ActivationNetworks and 
start teaching them.
2. Eventually the static rand variable in Neuron.cs will be broken and will no 
longer generate random numbers (it will be all the same number, e.g. 0)
3. Now neural network is not usable without program restart

What version of the product are you using?
2.2.3

Please provide any additional information below.
fix by locking rand on use. lock(rand) rand.NextDouble(...)

Replaced Neuron's static random numbers generator with its thread safe version.

Committed in revision 1652. Will be released in version 2.2.4+.

P.S. That random number generator is used only when creating neural network. It 
has nothing to do with learning algorithm.
