    I'm sitting directly beneath the A/C vents in the office, which they have blowing at full strength, even though it like 15C outside. I'd like to put a heater under my desk but I'm afraid the weather systems would clash and it would snow on my desk :-D

    You would be able to dress like a Seattle programmer: short and sandals on the bottom, flannel shirt over a thermal on the top. And actually, that kind of inversion layer -- hot air trying to rise but blocked by cold air trying to sink -- probably would not lead to snow. Smog, on the other hand.... If you get the heater, be careful about the beans and cabbage for lunch.

      Wow, 15, that is cold you would think they would turn the heat on! With comments like this it is any wonder I wasn't the one that crashed the Mar's rover.

        On my first programming job, my office was attached to the computer room and kept at the same 50F. I put a little heater under the desk and had no such trouble.

                The AC will try to compensate the heater so you probably will get a blow of cold air; the only winner in these wars is the utility company. Better find where the AC thermostat is, set it to 22C and then smash it with a hammer.

                            Depends, most of the big ACs have a central computer in the AC/compressor room and the thermostats are just a “remote controls”. Your TV won’t change the channel when you broke the remote. Before the university I had 4 years technical school for AC and heating systems back in Sofia. ;P

                                  Do what my coworkers do when stuck with an unwanted vent cube. Sacrifice a large box and some paperclips and construct a baffle to direct the air into your neighbors cube. :rolleyes:

                                    No, but you might create one of these[^], and that would just be cool. :-D We used to get them multiple times every summer and I'd ride my bike through them sometimes for the fun of it.
