Hardcoding a change in Fan speed
This is a pretty good document i found on how to hardcode a change in Fan Speed in OSX. Worked well enough for me. Supposedly tested and working on a MacBook and MacBook Pro. I tried it on a Mac Mini and it seems to work too. Kudos to the author.
Editing Exclusions in Time Machine
Note: Time Machine has default exclusion list that prevents it from backing up some important files in OSX Server. (Ref http://www.bill.eccles.net/bills_words/2008/08/designed-to-fail-apple-time-ma.html).
The file to edit to modify the exclusion list is as follows.

Update: Checked up on this in 10.6.3 and it seems that /var/spoool is now backed up.
