It's telehack.com. Yu can connect to it through a web browser or good
ol' Telnet. It's nice to relive the good ol' times of terminal again.
I'm "scisheher" in the game, go ahead and finger me with your "finger"
program on your workstation. Maybe drop me a mail or two.

Just called by. It would take me a week to recall it all, anyway, it was
nice, and a happy Xmas to you.

I can connect but apparently I can't create a new user:

.newuser
%newuser is temporarily disabled

I wonder if this is actually permanent now or is it coming back? I found
a mention on Reddit from four months ago that it was temporarily
disabled back then too but has it been back since?

And are you sure you spelled your username correctly?

$ finger scis...@telehack.com
%user not found

When Unum says "energy bills"... he doesn't mean consumer's "energy
bills".

So... all this is going to be built in LESS than 5 to 16 months?

No way.

LOL... now, they're labeling CONTRACTS with superlatives to make it
seem like
this is going to be the biggest thing since sex.

Celebrating "record-breaking fourth round of the contracts". Is this a
sport,
now?

Here it is...

"Prices" TO THE GENERATOR, NOT the consumer.

> Offshore wind is now even cheaper than solar or onshore wind energy,
> government figures show, clearing at just £37.35/MW.

TO THE GENERATOR, NOT the consumer.

> ?These numbers are wild,? comments Leo Murray, innovation director at climate

There it is again... "renewable electricity GENERATION costs."

WHY do you bore us with this bullshit? Oh... yeah... the world's not
on fire at
the moment, so pricing to the GENERATORS of electricity is most
newsworthy.

> Remarkably, the 11GW of renewables will generate energy at prices four times
> lower than the current cost of gas, according to CarbonBrief analysis.

"Prices" to the generators, NOT the consumers.

Learn the difference, pussyboy SPAMMER.
