Some idiot decided to make a desktop application called local cooling for your home computer that manages your power usage so that you use less energy and then it calculates how many trees, gallons of oil, and kilowatt hours you have saved.

Well we can fight back! After you visit their website and send a nasty email explaining what a disservice they are doing to the planet, use the following tips to increase the amount of power your computer uses.

- Run a few distributed computing projects such as SETI@Home
- If you have a dual core processor, make sure that you have enough applications running to make use of BOTH cores.
- Make full use of your GPU by keeping a 3d intensive program or game such as World of Warcraft running at all times.
- Buy more computers! even if you don’t have much money to spend, you can find very cheap and even free old computers or extra monitors on craigslist.
- And of course, never turn off your computer!
