@Jay?: Hum. Interesting that Microsoft actually has it together (somewhat) there for a change. I still firmly believe that IE's only productive use is to download a superior browser, though. It's still clear that all of the other "big players" beat out IE; Microsoft has merely narrowed the margin, not inverted it by a long shot. There's also the fact that Firefox and Crome, most notably among others, have a wealth of addons that add functionality and even reconfigure the core browsers themselves in ways that would doubtless improve upon those benchmarks you gave; meanwhile IE lacks many addons, and making addons for the browser is very difficult. It was borderline impossible and decidedly illegal, once upon a time, before Microsoft had to cave against the Firefox domination caused by Mozilla's far more open-source philosophy. There are 3 specific addons I can name for Firefox, 2 of which I know have an "identical twin" of sorts made for Chrome, that all on their own can improve practical factors across the board up to 10-fold. AdBlockPlus, Ghostery, and FasterFox. This would rightfully put Chrome and Firefox both off the charts in practice, measuring directly things like up/download speed, virus implanting resistance, etc. etc. etc. @Ysharma/Sev, personal browser choice: I use Firefox. I've used it since before Chrome was even made, started back in the early Firefox 3.0/late 2.0 days, back before 4.0 came out and they subsequently decided to spam artificial new whole number versions so they could say "Nyah nyah our meaningless number's higher than yours, IE!" or whatever, I don't even know. Silly move, but hey, the software still works wonderfully. I don't hate on Chrome, but I never saw a point in making a proper switch over, seeing as it's basically Google saying "Hey we make Firefox too! Love us like you love Mozilla!" I honestly see that as all well and good, because the more people in the world that are using a well-made and open-source browser, the better.

@disconsented: Oh wow, guy, you're silly. You think you can win your little pseudo-argument by just parroting what amounts to the same thing over and over again? Not only are you an obsessive debater, you're a bad one. Well if you wanna play that game, I can do it more efficiently with the quote button: ETA: @Jay?: IE, every version past 4 or so, has always been prone to crashing, virus-vulnerability-inducing port opening behavior, slowness, and general stupidity, in my experience. 4 and prior didn't tend to slow badly, likely only due to the fact that they were ancient by the time I tested them out of curiosity, but those old versions still heralded the pitfalls of the rest of the bunch. ETA again: Oh, I also recall that 7 or 8 was found out to have a major, glaring flaw in security that could open the floodgates for virii. It was patched out ASAP upon formal discovery, but who's to say how many computers got hit by hackers and botnets just because of a bad IE version before anyone officially found this out? And who's to say IE 10 doesn't have a similar major flaw that's just gone undiscovered, or knowing Microsoft, possibly discovered by not widely known about to the point of them having to get off their lazy asses and fix it?

"I am not trying to start a debate." "You are the once<sic> with the burden of proof here." Clearly you are; debates hinge on proof, and if you're so demanding of proof, that's what you're trying to start. Happening to know common knowledge things is not bandwagoning. Quit debate trolling; if you want to practice masturbatory and/or circlejerk-like pseudo-lawyerly behavior I'm sure you can find plenty of boards with communities more suited to such tastes. Good day sir.

... I believe that counts, disconsented. I'm not inclined to "source" or prove or give examples of these "claims" which fall within the realm of common knowledge and common sense among anyone who knows how the internet and browsers work, and easy observation for most anyone else who's attentive; especially not to appease your rather apparent desire to start a debate from pointlessness for mere debate's sake. Never even mind that this has nothing to do with Tekkit/Technic or this guy's (now apparently solved) issue. If you want such information, I'm sure Google will give you plenty should you actually look for it.

Source ... what?

Oh wow, man, people still use IE. Guy, you're using a horribly buggy piece of bloatware that's prone to open a million holes in your computer for virii to come crawling in. The only reason IE is even still present and updated is because Microsoft thinks its horrible stock browser is still relevant. IE is definitely part of your problem here. Get Pale Moon, get Uzbl, get Firefox, get Chrome, get Opera, get Torch, get Safari if you must, anything is better than IE. IE is to browsers what Flowerchild is to modders; the retard baby that, along with its ever-shrinking fandom of idiot zealots and people who simply don't see that there's another way around things, still thinks it belongs when in reality it's long been completely irrelevant.

7.1.0 worked pretty much fine in my experience, until it inexplicably started raping itself into oblivion, rendering the game impossible to even launch and needing a re-install probably around daily even if I didn't particularly do anything at all. No idea what happened there, but 7.0.1 is playing much nicer even still. That's about all I have to say.

If I understand correctly, it should be just a few pairs of buckets going back and forth, but a bunch of them in the condenser. The ones in the condenser won't really lag anything. So unless I'm reading wrong, you're good to go.

The nether has raped me up the ass like Jupiter before. Many times. Then I figured out to put my entrance portals deep underground so I'll spawn right above the lava table where ghasts aren't likely to be shooting at me right out of the gate, and bring a few stacks of cobblestone for quickly throwing up a defense. It's pretty kind to me now. So everyone knows, if you build a portal at or below level 32, you'll be right at the lava table in the nether. Every block that would otherwise be air is lava below level 32, like in the main world at level 10(?), so even if there are caves they're filled with lava, so you don't have to worry about trying to dig up and out into the nether proper from under a lava sea or some such.

... Technic forums is one hell of a drug.

Goats are very good pets. They'll take good care of and defend your drops if you get killed. I always take one with me if I'm exploring the wild of minecraftia, or lava-filled caves!

"homosexual Skrillex dance festivals" ... "homosexual Skrillex dance festivals" Just say that in your head. Think about it. Revel in the incomprehensible string of sounds that one might compare to a thought if there were anything resembling an idea relayed by them. Enjoy the feeling, as your mind slowly descends into madness in its futile effort to comprehend this "homosexual Skrillex dance festivals" concept.

Likely some sort of bot that controls post-related functions. Maybe some odd quirk of the software makes it see every post as that bot posting twice. I don't know if there's a lower age limit on this site, but I'm probably below it, seeing as my age is right at zero at any moment; I'm constantly destroyed and created anew, and I only give the illusion of continuity. As well, rarely do I do what was described in the OP, resulting in abominations against logic and sanity like the previous sentence. Which is just downright fun.
