Mac Pilot 2.0 opens up hidden OS X features
I just stumbled upon Mac Pilot 2.0, an OS X tweaking app in the spirit of TinkerTool that goes above and beyond the other tweaking apps I've seen. Mac Pilot 2.0 runs on Tiger, and the new version boasts over 110 new features (which you can find in the download's release notes), and some of them - such as disabling a second processor, choosing a screenshot capture location and enabling the "cut" Finder function - are pretty unique. Mac Pilot's full capabilities offer a boatload of options for customizing many hidden features of the Finder, Dock, Safari, Mail, Disks, Networking, Sharing, System, logs and other miscellaneous options. Mac Pilot also has GUI access for about 26 other tools and operations such as rebuilding prebindings, recreating the OS 9 desktop link, verifying preferences and updating the 'locate' database. A fully functioning 15-day demo is available and a single user license will run you a mere $9.95, while school and business licenses are available for $79 and $99, respectively.[via MacMinute]

Note that although "cut" is enabled, it doesn't actually cut. That is, turning on the feature merely maps the keyboard shortcut for "move to trash" to Cmd-x.
So really, it enables "put file in the trash even though you think you're going to be able to paste it later" in the Finder.
