Was in school for software engineering, had several classes on testing software. Why do you ask?

Found a major dupe glitch in single player using backpacks and the ME Computer system. I don't know if it is in multiplayer as I don't play on any servers and I have not tested this on any versions other than 1.1.5. How to replicate: Have 2 backpacks, with the exact same name, colour, item contents, position does matter. Put both backpacks into the ME system. Both backpacks should end up in the same stack on the ME network. If they are not in the same stack then something is different between the two and the glitch wont work. Remove both backpacks. One backpack, usually the second one you removed will have its contents lock in. You can remove or add items but the contents will reset when you close the backpack. Renaming or re dying the backpack breaks the lock. Seems like this can be fixed temporarily by disabling the backpacks mod.

I had this issue recently. When I first started using Technic I never had issues logging in, until about a week ago. I was "Unable to connect to minecraft.net" the launcher would say, every time I went to play. I tried to fix it by first making a backup of my .techniclauncher folder and deleting the lastlogin file. No dice so I restored the backup and tried just clearing the cache, still no luck. I then deleted the whole folder and tried redownloading everything, still no luck. I restored my backup then checked the forums, and after trying to log in with my e-mail that I used for my Mojang account I no longer have the login issues. My guess is that it isn't client side, or the launcher. Mojang must have changed something in their authentication system.
