Remove ip-geolocation-quova -- it include an API key which apparently required agreeing to the Quova terms of service to obtain (http://developer.quova.com/apps/tos). And those seem to pretty clearly ban this sort of use. So we can only use this script if we get permission from Quova (best option), or we make it so that user is required to pass a key as nsearg
