10.5: Re-enable remote X viewing in 10.5.5:
When you upgrade to OS X 10.5.5, remote X viewing (via X11) gets disabled. This is fine for most people, however for those of us who use remote apps, it’s a pain. The following defaults setting will take care of the issue. In Terminal, issue this command:
defaults write org.x.X11 nolisten_tcp 0

Safari 3.1: Neuer Tab statt neues Fenster:
Praktische versteckte Einstellung in
Safari 3.1: Um Links, die ein neues Fenster öffnen wollen stattdessen in einem neuen Tab zu laden, reicht folgender Terminalbefehl:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
und ein anschließender Neustart von Safari. Dies lässt sich ebenso einfach wieder rückgängig machen, indem das ‘true’ am Ende des Befehls in ein ‘false’ geändert wird. (via naquah.net - Danke, Jonas!)

Example:
sudo ipfw pipe 1 config bw 15KByte/s
creates a pipe that only allows up to 15KB/s to go through.
Then:
sudo ipfw add 1 pipe 1 src-port 80
will attach that pipe to the outgoing traffic on port 80, effectively limiting the outgoing traffic of the web server.
sudo ipfw delete 1
will remove the pipe from the port.

I disabled Spotlight and its Metadata Framework in OS X 10.5 by moving two files to a safe location that they can be restored from if necessary. The files are:
/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.Spotlight.plist
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist

If you think Time Machine backs up too often (or not often enough) for your liking, navigate into /System » Library » LaunchDaemons. There you’ll find a file named com.apple.backupd-auto.plist. Open it in your favorite text editor, and look for this section:
<key>StartInterval</key>
<integer>3600</integer>
Change the 3600 number to some other time interval in seconds, and you’ll have changed Time Machine’s backup interval.
