Disable resume for most Apple applications (replace appName with desired program, i.e. QuickTime, Preview, TextEdit...):
defaults write com.apple.appName NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
Disable new window animation:
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool false
Disable Mail reply animation:
defaults write com.apple.Mail DisableReplyAnimations -bool true
Disable Mail send animation:
defaults write com.apple.Mail DisableSendAnimations -bool true
Disable character picker:
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
Use Snow Leopard-style Save dialog shortcuts (i.e. Cmd-D selects "Don't Save"):
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSSavePanelStandardDesktopShortcutOnly -bool true
Disable iOS-style spelling corrections:
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticSpellingCorrectionEnabled -bool false
Show system info at login screen:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow AdminHostInfo HostName

Does disabling "resume" work with non-Apple apps (such as Microsoft Word, for example)? I know you can also hold shift while opening an app to disable it temporarily...
Also, do you know of a way to have an app not open a new document when no documents are open (for example, when you click on TextEdit in the dock it creates a new document when nothing is open)? This is especially annoying for programs that use a lot of memory...
I'm not sure on either of those. Any program that uses a lot of memory shouldn't be affected by a blank window, though...if it does, there's a bigger problem.
Mainly Microsoft Office :)
