get rid of dashboard in mac os X

Dashboard seems like a good idea, but I can't stand how it always seems to take 5 seconds to "wake up" all those widgets whenever I open it up. So, as a result, I never use it.  It just idles there in the background taking up a sliver of CPU cycles. Oh and occasionally I accidentally key into it. So, I am glad I finally did this:

defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES

killall Dock
