DIY HVAC

An anonymous reader writes "I found this very interesting project called DIY Zoning. It allows one to add air flow balancing, temperature control, zoning, home automation, and more to an existing or new HVAC system. After getting a $200 electric bill, this sounds like a good solution for those who are getting screwed with outrageously high electric bills due to their HVAC unit especially since organizations like TVA have raised the electric rates."

the computational potency of the earth is not infinite. do not turn of your computers, and make sure they are doing something at all time so long as it is reasonable to do so. i have 3 computers on right now, although one is being used to look at porn and browse slashdot(two relatively useless activities). contriubte to folding@home, or even seti@home if you must... help distributed computing projects with your cycles if you have nothing better to do with them. only leave your cycles empty when you are using your computer actively, and when you 'might need them' (ie, my main system(p-166 with 32mb ram) thrashes when i'm using either 100% of my ram+swap or 100% of my cpu... and this wastes human-time.) instead of looking for YOUR best interest as a capitalist, look for the SPECIES best interest by helping us increase the computational fortitude of the whole.

don't like the cost? then join us in the revolution - there's no reason for electricity to cost anything beyond simple greed, and the initial costs.
