What it does
On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 3 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
An identifier system for scientific authors, so that researchers with the same name, or with misspelt names, can be told apart.
Researchers could claim their published papers and link them to one persistent number. In April 2019 it was folded into Publons, which Clarivate Analytics owns, and shares data with ORCID.
In 2008: Introduced in January by Thomson Reuters.
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.
