What it does
On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2008
A one-question status page that answers, in huge white letters on black, whether CERN's Large Hadron Collider has ended the world yet.
It went up on 8 September 2008, two days before the collider's first beam, as fears spread that it could make black holes; CERN's safety reviews found no danger. The page has its own news feed and, in its code, a 'YUP.' ready just in case.
In 2008: Launched on 8 September; the first protons went round the collider on 10 September, and a magnet fault stopped it nine days later.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Weird Web: One page, one joke, no reason. The internet at its best.
