What it does
On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 11 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 1998
An American blog on the legal problems of technology, especially patents, copyright, privacy and reform of intellectual property law.
Mike Masnick founded it in 1997. In a January 2005 post there he coined the phrase "Streisand effect", for when an attempt to hide something draws it more attention. Forbes named it one of its best tech blogs in 2003.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
