OS X DNS cache reset script

What a worthless link. How about an explanation of the problem? Stop what? Not resetting? Why is a reset necessary? And why the double-negative? Why not "noreallyjustfuckingresetitalready"?

OS X has like 4 commands to flush the DNS cache depending on version. It's a PITA. This script runs the right thing on each.

Even more reason to clarify.

Well if you had ran into that problem the link would be very touching to you too. The stop is referring to the constant changing and difficulty in diagnosing resolution under os x (or whatever it's called)

Maybe, except the author doesn't clarify what exactly the problem is, or that s/he's offering a solution. A solution is only viable if it's both discoverable and understandable.

Exactly. And the author doesn't bother to explain.

The author didn't care and it's not their day job to explain.

They just put it out there, which is more than other people did.

If someone feels it needs an added explanation, they can add it themselves.

Some, who had faced similar issue at some time or another, will understand immediately what this is, anyway.
