a) It could be noticed. Whether it would be depends on how diligent the
admin is.
b) Depends how much of a hard-ass the admin (and the people to whom the
admin reports) want to be that day. Asses tend to harden when the owner
of said ass detects that someone is trying to weasel around the clear
intent of a policy by arguing semantics. Strictly speaking, by launching
the program you will "put your program on the Mac" in that it will be
transferred into the machine's memory and begin to pass through the CPU.
