I think you will find this violates Linden Lab’s Terms of Service, and [...]

1. If your computer breaks, you don’t care about losing your work/music/photographs.. you’re more concerned you won’t be able to get on Second Life until it’s fixed.
2. Your priority is to pay the internet bill before all other bills.
3. When waking up at 3AM for a bathroom visit, you check your phone to see if [...]
Okay – so I skipped a day, but Day 3 was pretty dull and mainly involved reading books. And lets face it – reading books is dull. Imagine if you could acquire a wealth of skills in Second Life simply by setting your avatar to read virtual books, and then coming back to find that [...]
