    get a (second) life

    Jeez,

    I find things like second life slightly worrying at the best of times. Are we at the stage where online relationships are equal or moreso than real ones?

    Still the likes of Thief and Helios are hard at work in the virtual world:

    I particularly like the fact that virtual shopkeepers are up in arms over IPR issues...

    Older and ...well, just older!!

    The Register has some more on the IPR thing under the remarkable apt headline "Panic in Sadville!"

    Helios/Thief is probably sobbing with jealously right now since he wouldnt know where to start creating a worm or bot, let alone one that actually did what it was supposed to.

        Kramer - I declare you female!! I dont mean it in a nasty way - I genuinely think you are. (And I completely understand why you wouldn't want this lot to know!)

        But everything adds up now - the deal was sealed with that washing twice a day thing!

            I tried it a few weeks ago - nice lightweight implementation, amd concept of using real money is kind of cool,but it quickly gets expensive and all for what - something that can be copied easily anyway, no point really.
