What's the code for it?

Dashboard off:
 defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES

Dashbaord on:
 defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO

Kill the doc to make that actually take effect:
 killall Dock

yay Cheesy

EDIT:  btw, killing the doc basically just makes the doc go away and come back a second later Tongue

Or you could just give the 'doc' an apple a day. It wouldn't be around much after that! Smiley

I prefer to keep Dashboard turned off. I only turn it on when I run a System Update/Security Update. My machine is rather RAM-limited, and I'd rather not accidentally activate Dashboard and suffocate the OS through an "out of memory"-type error. I did that once on my GNU/Linux box, and I swear you could hear me scream all the way to St. Petersburg (quite a feat, considering I live in Hannover, Germany. Compling custom kernels can be fun, but.....).

Anyway, when I get more RAM, I'll probably just run the Calculater, Wikipedia, Sticky Notes and iStat. They're all I'd need.

(NOTE: If this is defined as (too far) off-topic, I apologize and I'll delete it when I get the Mod's PM telling me so.)

Dashboard won't cause an out of memory error.  OS X's swap functionality is a bit safer than linux's Tongue

Newer linux kernel revisions are quite good...

I can't believe how minimalist your Firefox is. How do you survive!
