in thread Getting longitude and latitude from an IP address

Anecdotal information relating to this: back in college I was trying to update my MS-IE to handle 128-bit crypto and was denied the download by the Microsoft website; some script on their end had used my IP to (incorrectly)determine my location to be outside the US. This was perhaps 5-6 years ago, when US companies couldn't export 128bit software. (That has changed, hasn't it?)

    Unless you're in Afghanistan, Iraq, or some other place like that... yup. There are still some restrictions but they are a little more relaxed now (to the best of my knowledge).
