Why exactly, does age make a UI bad? Changing it because 'its old' is bollocks. That might fly for poorly designed back-end systems, but you don't need a new UI to keep people interested, you need to stop sucking.
And I am, I'd label this an attempt by Senator Conroy to backdoor his internet filtering into existence by tacking it onto a massive government controlled network.
Also, being Australia, we'll likely have to pay $100/month for access and be limited to 20GB of data traffic (both up and downstream) per month.
Quake 1 gave us Team Fortress, not Valve, not Half Life.
(yes, Valve hired the dev team behind TF, but that doesn't mean they gave it to us originally)
Too bad this is actually just one potential filter to be used in a government mandated filtering system, with no complete opt out. Every ISP in Australia will be required to provide a 'clean feed' that filters out illegal and inappropriate material.

At last check, the passive cooler is the active cooler with the fan removed. The actual copper heatsink was identical. Of course, I haven't assembled a rackmount for around a year now, but i dont expect the landscape to have changed too much.
Passively cooled CPU, but you require cyclonic wind speeds inside the case to keep them cool; The passively cooled xeons are pretty much restricted to 1U rackmount cases, or Tower cases with internal fan ducts that direct airflow directly onto/through the heatsink fins. Essentially you trade the CPU fan for a bunch of chassis fans - a 1u passively cooled xeon machine is just about the loudest you'll ever hear.
It's worth pointing out that Australia has experimented with the uncapped, unlimited plans before, and they always end up adopting a fair use policy to restrict the people who hammer their link 24/7.
I've been on those ISPs, and while it was nice to never have to watch how much i'm downloading, the overall service level on the capped/shaped plans has been much higher.
I'd consider myself to be a heavy 'consumer' of bandwidth, and while on internode's prioritised plans, i never experienced a dip in available bandwidth, not from shaping, and not from oversubscription - regardless of how much i downloaded. let's face it, the vast majority of people who want to download 24/7, aren't doing it legitimately.
Internode have offered this in Australia for some time. Wish it was available where I am, but i'm stuck on 12000/1000 with iinet (no, i don't work for either of them, but i've been a happy customer of both)

Blocking incoming connections won't help terribly much when the backdoor is a bot that connects to an irc channel and receives its commands from there.
I did something similar to this for a customer the other day, they brought in a computer that would no longer boot, the first 8kb of their 20gig hdd was physically broken, couldn't be read from or written to.
i partitioned an indentical drive in the same way, and used dd to transfer the still readable parts of the first hdd onto it:
dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/hdc bs=512 skip=8 seek=8/dev/hdc then had all the data from hdb, customer happy, boss in awe, all in all, a good end to first day of work at a new job.

You mean 10base2, right?
Then, I'll find some deserving 13 year-old and give the jailbroken PS3 to him or her. And a stack of blank DVD-Rs
Sony won't HAVE to go after you, the feds will for being a pedo. (not that i'm implying you are, but like that matters any more)
