I've noticed this, random accounts jacking up prices on bids to 5 digit price tags.
GOOD.

Particularly when the problem is simple to solve, there's really only very few ways to do it, and maybe only one, so it might be unavoidable.  If you're concerned, style it differently, change variable and function names, and add comments to show you understand what it's doing.

nah ... we have a whole forum section, with a thread for each and everyone of you peasants to keep track of a few things

Make sure it's long enough (the length listed is if it was stretched to 100%, which is uncomfortable, so give it some buffer), and don't buy one where the strap is elastic.  They wear down quickly.
 
It depends on where you live.  I repair computers for a living, and I absolutely need one.  Static is a bitch during the winters here.  Shifting in your chair can lead to getting shocked.  I ruined a motherboard because I forgot to put my wrist strap on.
 
During the winters I grit my teeth and slap something metal every few minutes because I know I'm going to get shocked.  It's better to have smaller ones than really big painful ones.

Yes only the heat would transfer, not the fluids.
I'm not sure how many watts pool heaters are, but if you get some 295X2s and FX9590s it shouldn't be too hard to reach thousands of watts of heat.
Pretty much all power that a PC consumes is turned into heat, so it's really easy to calculate heat based on the wattage of the components.

The way to do this is to use heat exchangers and stick the heat exchangers inside the pool. This way the watercooling loop water does not mix with the pool water which would destroy your tubing and waterblocks.
The pool water needs to contain chlorine.
The loop water needs to contain other more concentrated biocides and anticorrosives.
This method would cool the loop and heat up the cool water without mixing the two, and yes it would work because a pool can absorb like billions of joules of heat due to all the water heat capacity.

Tone down the hostility. It's unnecessary to throw insults at each other; either discuss your difference of opinion in a civil fashion or don't bother responding at all. And to be clear, this works both ways - accusing people of being a fanboy because they don't agree with your opinion isn't acceptable, and nor is telling them they must 'open their mind' just because they view things differently. Your opinion is not law.
 
Keep it civil or the thread will be locked.

A council of the elder mods had formed, waiting as the new tribute stepped forward for the joining ritual 

So this is a piece of tech that most people won't be able to try out, so I thought I'd do the hard yards. It's the Eizo 1:1 Square monitor - the EV2730Q. I think it's a really interesting piece of tech and would love to hear your thoughts.
 
@ALwin @ShadowCaptain if you haven't seen already. @Windspeed36 thought this might interest you.
 
 
 
Ironically the video is best viewed in 1440p on a 21:9 display. I worked really hard on the video so would like your opinion on it, as well as the monitor.
 
Positives
- Excellent quality panel, little to no backlight bleed, 10 bit IPS with great viewing angles and high colour accuracy.
- Perfect pixel density. Same amount of pixels as a 2560*1440p display in a 26.5" square. Can be pushed to 2048*2048.
- Good stand with tilt and height adjust.
- Resolution is f**king awesome for productivity. Cuts down on excess whitespace you get on 16:9 and 21:9 displays - nearly every pixel is actually useable.
- Best for video editing, audio editing, database/spreadsheet, layout design, photo viewing, web browsing, CAD, programming.....everything that's productive.
- Motion sensor for waking up the monitor when you sit down at your desk.
 
Negatives
- Price. Though if you are making money off of your work, this is a worthy investment.
- Speakers are terrible. Like 1W affairs with no depth. Even for monitor speakers....
- Gaming field of view is terrible, albeit novel.
 
 
Any questions or comments, please ask. This is unusual technology to see in a "consumer" space, and it still fascinates me. Never had anything change the way I work so drastically, so quickly.

Auxiliary Power Unit... Wait... I've spent to much time in FSX recently. 

I have none. If someone is trying to act as if they're smarter/better than I am, I'll just smile and continue on. If they're willing, I'll have a real conversation about stuff and try to get my points across, but otherwise why would I waste my time on someone like that? (excluding if I had to, i.e. work)

Well, it does depend on your GPU to a degree. You're right that if the CPU isn't the limiting factor because you don't have a high-end GPU setup, you generally won't see a difference between an AMD and an Intel processor.
However, it also depends on the games; every game has a different balance of how much CPU power vs GPU power it needs. Some games are CPU-bound in almost any setup, such as StarCraft II, which is extremely CPU-intensive and also really doesn't take advantage of more than 2 CPU cores, so performance really suffers due to AMD's low single-threaded performance, and the fact that they have more CPU cores than an equivalently priced Intel processor doesn't make up for the difference. Even an FX-8350 at 4.0GHz will drop to sub-15fps in large battles with lots of units, while a Haswell processor hovers around 30fps in the same scenario.
The other thing is that CPUs are considered a longer term investment for most people, the upgrade cycle is longer than GPUs. With graphics cards, you can easily swap your card out for an upgrade whenever it suits you, whereas a CPU involves a new motherboard (at least, if the CPU is newer enough to be a meaningful upgrade in the first place) as well as some extensive disassembly of your system. So it's not necessarily a good idea to get a CPU that is "just enough" for whatever graphics card you have initially, because you have to consider that you might upgrade to a more powerful GPU in the future, and it's a lot easier to do that if you don't have to upgrade your CPU too in order to not be limiting your new graphics card.
AMD's CPUs aren't "bad" in the sense that they're unusable for gaming, it's just that Intel's CPUs are much stronger. There are very few situations in which an AMD CPU makes sense, and that's really only when you're heavily constrained by budget, and it's still not going to hold up as well as an Intel chip in the long run.
