While GTA is certainly Take Two's biggest franchise, its far from their only valuable property. Rockstar has also developed both Manhunt games, Midnight Club and Bully, all of which were quite successful. Take Two also owns 2K, which includes 2K sports, EA's only real remaining competitor in the sports gaming market. Gathering, TalonSoft and Jack of All Games are also under the Take Two umbrella and all have had their successes. Not to say GTA isn't EA's primary interest in the takeover, but obviously the single franchise isn't worth $2B.
Yea, I was wondering if I was missing something there. I read the article and all the comments in the gp link, and basically I see Kim Cameron trying to explain what seem like some pretty reasonable security issues to some retard who keeps insisting that the current system is perfect because he knows how to read the address bar and certificate dialog....
I love how every time there's any sort of scientific article or new idea posted on here, everyone assumes that the very first (and generally extremely obvious) possible problem with it that pops into their head has not and will never occur to the team of researchers and scientists who came up with the idea. I'm fairly certain that anyone attempting to work on a radiation detection system is fairly well aware that there are in fact sources of radiation other than nuclear bombs, and that if this plan were to be implemented the government wouldn't immediately start raiding hospitals and schools or arresting cancer patients and campers.
