Re: icon showing that something is banned or nonfunctioning

For users I like the phrase "not allowed" or 
"prohibited." For developers, Microsoft says:
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
Cursor.NO

Specifies a cursor which indicates that a particular  
region is invalid for a given operation. 
For example, this cursor appears during a drag and
drop operation to indicate regions in which a drop is
not allowed.
