You know that little symbol..?

I'm looking for the name of the symbol comprised of a red circle with a diagonal line through it, the "universal not"; or, in its more vulgar usage, the "Ghostbuster" symbol; or, as my partner here at the office calls it, "the buster symbol."

I'm looking because I'm writing documentation for a web app that I'm writing that uses it on several buttons, and, if it can be avoided at all, I'd rather not call it, "the buster symbol".

In my searchings, I found a rather entertaining blog entry from BlogSpot, reprinted completely without permission here, since it's a couple years old and like as not to vanish.

Late Edit: I copped out. Instead of calling it something, I just put the icon in the middle of the sentence.

A National ID card

This is a little outside my usual stuff, but I found it extremely interesting to think that - common sense and logical thought notwithstanding - the "mark of the beast" that was all the rage from pretty much every pulpit in town when I was in high school might just become a reality.

A national ID card?  Not for me, thanks.
