form used to register a site with the Usenet mapping project, back before

the day of pervasive Internet, included a blank for longitude and latitude,

preferably to seconds-of-arc accuracy. This was actually used for

generating geographically-correct maps of Usenet links on a plotter;

however, it became traditional to refer to this as one's <span class="firstterm">ICBM address</span> or <span class="firstterm">missile address</span>, and some people include it in

their <a href="../S/sig-block.html"><i class="glossterm">sig block</i></a> with that name. (A real missile

address would include target elevation.)</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="IBM.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../I.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ice.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">IBM </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> ice</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
