Does anyone know where I might be able to download/purchase a database of US cities and their longitude/latitude coordinates?

I had been working on an essay of my experiences with various codecs for a bit, and when slashdot's post came up, I couldn't help but excerpt part of and post it up there.

I am starting a large project and still selecting what framework to use. Rather than ask brand x what is wrong with brand y, I am more interested in self confession. Why would I *not* want to use Rails (compared to Iowa and Nitro). I posted a synopsis of the project to ruby-talk but will repost it here if anyone wants it. xev
