Personally, I'm not a big fan of the guy, but it's exactly what Steve Jobs to resurrect Apple, with the iPod & the iPhone.
And, prior to that, it was what Bill Gates did at MSFT, with WINWORD.EXE & EXCEL.EXE [and beyond that, Windows 95 & Windows NT 4.0]: Simple, straightforward, dumbed-down products which any moron can get up and running in about 60 seconds flat.
Often when I use photobucket with Opera I have keep login in after I upload some pictures. It does not happen when I use Firefox
What would Thomas Sowell want to watch on TV?
The first cell phone I had was a simple cell phone by Samsung. When I upgraded, I upgraded to a Razr phone by Motorola, because I wanted a camera phone. The camera takes lousy pictures, so I don’t use the camera anymore. Besides I have a digital camera now. One of the main things I look now for is the Speaker phone, so if I have my hands full I can still talk.
Thank you, Bob.
Here are the instructions from Photobucket:
On Mac OS X:
Type lookupd -flushcache in your terminal to flush the DNS resolver cache. (ex: bash-2.05a$ lookupd -flushcache)
Once you run the command your DNS cache (in Mac OS X) will flush.
Once the above suggestions have been tried, please try logging into and using your Photobucket account again.

I don’t even understand WHERE in my “terminal” I’m supposed to start typing.
In any event, I’m afraid my Mac which has run without ANY problem or breakdown for about 7 years will be “terminally” dead.
I meant also to say the Samsung phone was the best I had so far
It's good research for his books, articles and commentary... /grin
LOL! You could just keep having more children, so that you'll always have teenagers in the house ...
Even my teens can't figure out how to reset the clock on the car radio; we just have to subtract an hour until it's Daylight Savings Time again.
I believe he mentioned in an article that he likes the History Channel.
I’m glad he’s exercising - he needs to live another 30 years.
From months I could not retrieve my messages and had to go by my daughters office to have one of the young girls there pull them up for me. They had written down my password because I kept forgetting it until they changed it to the last for numbers of the phone number.
Is it a sign that I’m getting old when the first step is to hand the instructions to my 10yr old and tell him to program it?
“One of the main things I look now for is the Speaker phone, so if I have my hands full I can still talk.”
I tried that too but the sounds of the car and traffic made it hard to hear.
***Even my teens can’t figure out how to reset the clock on the car radio; we just have to subtract an hour until it’s Daylight Savings Time again.***
LOL! I had a car like that. I got to be very good at subtracting hours during the winter months. Then, a neighbor, for absolutely no explainable reason, set it for standard time. Who asked him? I sure didn’t. But I was confused until DST came around again.
I’ll have to defer to the Mac experts here since I’m a Windows guy. It appears, though, that they want you to bring up a ‘command prompt’ which will allow you to type in the ‘bash’ command. Sorry, I don’t know how you’d do that on a Mac.
Hi KAS!
I sure can see that, Kas. And it’s cute as can be.
My problem with photobucket is retrieving MY stuff and getting it to show up on FR.
My husband is the much-maligned computer engineer, so he could probably figure it out ... but he doesn’t use the little car. He got himself an HDTV for Christmas, and is having a wonderful time fiddling with its Features. I’d like to just turn something on and watch it, but it’s too complex!
This is some sort of generational thing.
My dad was just like this. If he needed to use the DVD player, he would call me and I would walk him through the process of pressing the red button, then hit the video in button on the TV remote until the DVD player showed up on the TV.
I’ve never had any problem with any technology. It all just clicks for me.
Technology is like a foreign language. If you understand it, it is crystal clear, but if you don’t, it is like being dropped into a foreign country with nothing but the Monty Python English-Hungarian phrasebook.
I found the information about Jitterbug.
“The world’s simplest and most hassle-free cell phone, with service as low as $10 a month. Jitterbug Dial doesn’t have all the fancy features that you don’t use anyway.”
The price is good if you only use it for phone calls, and know your limit.
I want one just for emergency calls.
