Continuing from where my last post left off, here are a few more Terminal commands.
[4] defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
Deactivates Dashboard. Requires the dock to be relaunched to take effect, so remember to type killall Dock and press enter. Replace YES with NO to enable again.
[5] say ______
Not very useful, but kinda fun. Typing say followed by whatever you want, results in your computer speaking the inputted text to you.
[6] ifconfig
Shows you all sorts of useful information about your network connection, including IP and MAC address. You can even access connection specific information by adding en0 (ethernet card), or en1 (airport) to the end (ie. ifconfig en1). Or if you’d like to disable a connection, try something like ifconfig en1 down (replacing down with up will bring the connection back online).
