And? This will get more prevalent and precise when IPv6 becomes wide-spread. The IPv6 packet contains lat/long data.

Not sure why this is called unique, trace tools that'll plot the whole line of communication on a world map have existed for years. For me it points exactly to the city I'm in right now, which doesn't really surprise me. It does surprise me a little that it can be off my 2 states or even 400km in some cases, heh.
Mind you that your IPs are being logged with each thing you post here, so within reason I know almost exactly where the posts are coming from most of the time. That combined with the knowledge of a real name will probably often be enough to be able to pay an unexpected visit. ;-)

Pretty accurate for me (same metro area), but the location name given is for the absolute MOST shady (read: murder-a-week) part of town.
