What it does

On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2004

A project that checks that software under the GNU General Public License is not used in ways the licence forbids.

Harald Welte founded it in 2004 and took cases to German courts. A Munich court granted an injunction against Fortinet in 2005, and in 2006 the project won a case against D-Link Germany.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
