If you really want and if you dare, you can play with ibm-acpi to turn the
fan off. However, you need to make a script that watches the temperature
permanently and turn the fan back on when it reaches a certain threshold.
Otherwise you can damage your thinkpad.
See ibm-acpi.sf.net for the forementioned package.
