The February 2003 issue of Scientific American has an article that reminded me of this file (xearth/files/freebsd.committers.markers). It is titled `Satellite-Guided Munitions', and describes some nifty kits you can use to upgrade your `cheap' dumb bomb to a smart bomb that can strike within a few meters of the programmed coordinates 90% of the time (or similar accuracy -- I don't have the article in front of me at the moment).
