I believe you can do that via Settings > General.

I’d love to get a command-line version though :)

Instead of saying that so many times, why not just toggle the system-wide preference and look at the file that was changed? And then toggle it again and diff the two.

Yes, that works. If — like me — you hate the Resume feature so much, you can disable it system-wide in System Preferences. I’m still looking for a command that does this :)

Thank you very, very much. I hadn't even thought to look for such an option. It still took Googling to find it. Much, much better. :)

What gets me is the option-click that hides the window you're moving away from. Does anyone know how to disable that?

Is there a way to disable that awful grey-blue void at the top of every webpage in Safari, that the bounce-scroll resorts to on an overshot?

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -bool true It is interesting how many people don't like the 3D dock. Maybe Apple should think about this.

Wow thanks, I've been looking for this.

The first one is BRILLIANT. I've been wanting this forever. The one thing that I miss from being a Windows user back in the day.

OS X keyboard is so slow for me, so I set this one

    defaults write NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat -int 0

To make it blasting fast almost like in Linux (Gnome).
