I'm about ready to throttle someone if I can't figure this out. I have been working to disable all animation effects throughout OSX (10.9.2). since I got my new laptop about 3 months ago. I think I have most of them figured out, but I'm at a loss when it comes to disabling the minimize window application. The dock gives three options, none of which is acceptable for me. How can I disable this extremely aggravating behavior?
I'm open to any suggestions, hacks, patches, utilities, or dark magic rituals that will change this behavior. I'm not interested in people telling me that it can't or shouldn't be done. This is my personal computer, and I should be able to dictate it's behavior.

While Yosemite doesn't provide an option to prevent the minimise animation, it does provide an option to use the "scale effect", rather than the "genie effect". I find this animation to be much quicker and much less distracting.
