I haven't directly measured battery life yet, but I've left a GBA running Accelerated overnight and I don't see it having a huge impact on battery life. There is very little extra heat generated (if any at all), so a heatsink won't be neccessary.
I would think the screen is the big battery burden on the GBA, not the CPU

[i] It beats me why an individual taxpayer who knows anything about programming would use tax prep software.[/i]
Actually, even though I'm very good with programming, high level math, etc, I screw up small calculations like that all the time. Expense and mileage reports, everything. I'd probably goof up.
The main reason I did my taxes on line, back in late Janurary or Feburary, was so I'd get my refund faster.
Doing them online, with eFile, and Direct Deposit...I got my refund in about 12 days.
As opposed to: Fill out forms, stamps, envelope, do the math, mail it all in, wait for check, take check to bank...
It does cost $9.95 or something, but it's worth it to get the money quicker. Its nowhere near as bad as the gouging on those 'instant refund' places

I use some older 4.x version of AIM. Not at my desk so I couldn't tell you the exact version.
It was one of the first ones that let you store your buddy list on the server, but it doesn't have any annoying features that suck up bandwith, along with memory/cpu cycles.
They had telnet enabled...we shut that off, now the only way in is with a serial port connection, and you need the key to the maintenance room, and the server cabinet key.
I was called by a apartment complex that offered broadband to tenants. Apparently, one of the kids (mostly college students) had taken a networking class or something, and telneted in to the switches, and screwed a bunch of stuff up.
Of course, he changed the password to who knows what, so we had to call Nortel up and read them the serial number from each switch, and they gave us a backdoor password. I belive it was generated by a program they had. We had to verify proof of purchase and everything with the company, but who couldn't forge a Invoice from CDW or Insight?
These screenshots are taken on my GeForce FX 5600 (2.8 ghz P4). Turok is completely playable and suffers from only mild glitches like missing polygons and water effects. The gameplay is very smooth, frames per second are real-time. It is even possible to overclock Cxbx and play at 4x+ speed without choking the system.

When they claim 50hp you might only get 15. YMMV. Literally.
