I was annoyed at first but it sounds...almost...helpful. I dunno... Can't much much of an effect if it's a dedicated sim right? A little wierd, but maybe one of the higher ups in the company discovered SL and genuinely liked it.

WTF is C3PO supposed to be USEFUL for anyway, besides whining? Stupid piece of scrap metal would be more useful recycled as a toaster. But even that would suck, because who would want to listen to a whining wussy toaster? Is he gold plated? If that's the case he should just be melted down into gold ingots. Help the economy some, and stop being so damn useless you stupid bucket of bolts! R2 is 1,000 times more useful than your tin man ass, and he's shaped like a salt and pepper shaker FFS!

From: BBC News

At least two US business schools are exploring ways of using Second Life - which has 25,000 participants - to help foster their students' entrepreneurial skills.


Jeebus, these guys must be retarded. It's on the FRONT PAGE, staring you in the face. ~50,000 residents.

OH! I'm sure one will go off topic soon and then get dumped into the trash bin (OT forum). Thanks for the heads up. ;)
