What?  There's something other than sex in Second Life?  Who 
knew?  
Personally, I need to kill goblins and such in my computer games.  I 
have enough of virtually real life everyday.

The October 24 episode of "CSI New York" takes place partly inside
Second Life, where an investigator attempts to track down the
fugitive avatar of a murder victim.  After the show, viewers can go
online to Second Life, get their own CSI kit, and try to solve the
murder depicted in the show.  They'll have plenty of time: the TV
episode in which the murder is revealed will be broadcast in February.

Think I'm joking?  There's a story about this in the Arts section of
Thursday's New York Times.  You can see a clip on nytimes.com/ television.

I think online communities take a step down when tied to so many fancy
computer graphics. And oddly, the last time I tried my nice gamer nvidia
card in 2ndlife it ran like molasses.
