What it does
On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.
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 2002
A history of mathematics site of biographies and topics, kept by John J. O'Connor and Edmund F. Robertson at the University of St Andrews.
It grew out of their HyperCard database, which won a European Academic Software award in 1994. It now has biographies of more than 3,200 mathematicians and scientists, and the pair won the London Mathematical Society's Hirst Prize in 2015.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
