I would have to say, this is well with in the software companies rights.
If you use cracked versions of licensed software the software companines should be allowed to do anything they can to stop the illegal use of they're product.
I've already had to help a few people remove SoBig from thier systems and found that SARC has a removal tool that cleans up SoBig quickly and effortlessly by:
1. Terminating the W32.Sobig.F@mm viral processes.
2. Deleting the W32.Sobig.F@mm files.
3. Deleting the dropped files.
4. Deleting the registry values that the worm added.
For those who need it it can be found at http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sobig.f @mm.removal.tool.html
As far as Linux distros go there is one for almost one for every personality out there, when it comes to standardization however they only share a skeleton of similarities, the kernel and a basic directory structure... What truly creates a distro are the packages that are available with the distro and the system used to maintain those packages, such as apt or rpm. These would be hard to specify specific standards on as they are all based on user preferences. Standardization on a package level would be a mistake.
According to the Article Peak activity is projected around 4 a.m. EST (1 a.m. PST) with ideal dark-sky conditions, at least 60 to 120 Geminid meteors can be expected to burst across the sky every hour. They will be hitting Earth's Atmosphere at 22 miles per minute.. Insane..
