If you nurture your computer, and occasionally sit it next to another computer then maybe, just maybe, when you wake up one morning, you will have little PDAs running around the place:)

Home users removing vnc wouldn't cause much of a problem for any admin. Corp users should never ever even see the interface, nor ever be able to install/remove anything anyway (reg user vs administrator), so this program should only be needed in an overnight hoovering excersize, and even then its usefulness is limited.
Whilst the spyware program can use hashing and other signature detection tools to identify processes, I don't recall seeing a way in the policy tree for setting things more than a delimated list of files ("computer/admin/restrict these files from being launched by help" for example).
They make the transistors smaller so that it takes less power to switch, and because of the reduction, you also get a reduction in the time it takes.
However, packing hundreds of thousands of tiny little transistors all switching wildly into a tightly packed arena causes problems.
Maybe however, your onto something, make the die larger, and make the spacing between larger (but keep long straight pathways) so that the generated heat can be dissapated better?
I was expecting CPU trees and shrubs. Hanging baskets overflowing with ddr modules. A garden shed filled with all kind of GNU/Linux branded tools, and a Microsoft compost heap. Infact, all sorts of strange things came to mind.

The scientists at the latest BPL trial went away and did a rethink. They looked long and hard at information theory, and compression techniques and pretty wave patters and flow diagrams. They found out what was wrong with previous trials, and set about fixing the problem. They had to remove some odd spikes from the equation to make it work. They have deduced that you can create a multi gigabit BPL network link with no inteference if the following rule is applied:
You can send as much data down BPL lines as quickly as you want, as long as you only use Binary 0.
This result also confirms earlier speculation about the evil bit.

Nobody is, thats why I said, by default, its marked as Ignore. Most users will basically click Next Next Next Finish, and expect their computers to be clean.
In those instances, letting MS manage their machines is definately better.
How would a corp version work though? would you whitelist a whole bunch of things and hope the spyware companies don't cotton on to your file naming convention?
After all, if most admins decide to allow VNC by default, who's to say the spyware makers next project wont also be called VNC. It does depend upon how they do the scanning, but implimenting the policy level I think your eseking could actually be worse.
DVD boxes will soon be large enough to fit a proto-lawyer inside them. Once you break the protective seal, the reaction with the air will make the lawyer expand to 300x its original dimensions.
He will then watch over your every move, and report every voilation directly to the MPAA.
The best part of the article comes from: The VCTS scheme will also be built into next-generation media, which will slowly replace the non-DRM encoded DVD+R discs over time. The new discs will be somewhat more expensive than their DRM-free counterparts, explained Jun Ishihara, a product manager for Mitsubishi Chemical Media Co., also known as Verbatim. Likewise, the new players will probably be priced somewhat higher than conventional players, HP executives said, although pricing will be up to individual manufacturers.
"So" says the guy in the shop, "your telling me that I have to pay more for less? And this is in my best interests? Your protecting me from what exactly?"
Description: VNC (Virtual Network Computing) software makes it possible to view and fully-interact with one computer from any other computer or mobile device anywhere on the Internet.
Advice: This is a potential high risk threat. However, if this application has been installed for standard remote computer administration by yourself or your administror this application is safe. If you are not aware of this application being installed remove it. If you or your network admin does not have this program installed purposely remove immediately.
About Commercial Remote Control: Yourself or your administrator for the purpose of managing a computer remotely installs a commercial remote control tool unlike a commercial RAT or a trojan RAT. In addition, a commercial remote control application is installed with the user's knowledge and does not have the ability to install as a stealth application.
