computer data centers heat pool......cool

At long last, there is a way to make good use of computer data centers in your neighborhood by using heat generated from it to be funneled into the local swimming pool so that you don't suffer from shock the moment you dip your toes into the water. All the hot air generated from air conditioners that aim to keep the computers in the data center cool can be rechanneled in that manner, ensuring that all excess heat will not go to waste. Trust the Swiss to think of this eco idea. According to IBM, computers in their Uitikon center generate enough heat to warm up to 80 houses, so you do the math on a global scale.
