Don't smash it with a rock. Cover it, blow a fan over it or set a very hot laptop next to it, if you want changes in temperature.

  Canned air is your friend, any time you want something very cold in a hurry.

  Ah, yes. One winter bout 25 years ago we wondered why the thermostat seemed to have no relation to the temperature of the office. Then somebody noticed that there was a LaserJet immediately under it. Moving the printer worked nicely. But there was no such easy fix one summer when the techies with a south window were cooking and the boss with a north window was just right. The boss resisted all efforts at a compromise.

  When I worked at one large corporation, they always kept the temp around 63ish. The sales people joked it was to keep us awake and dialing all day. Of course they outlawed space heaters, but that didn't stop anybody from bringing them in. The funny part was trying to coordinate them so we could warm a certain set of cubes without blowing the fuse. It was our way of getting some feeling of control back. It's interesting how important this is to people - to feel like they're in control of their surroundings.

  The fake thermostats, being fake, don't react to local temperature variation by changing system behavior. You need to find the real thermostats.
