Graduate Student, UCLA Westwood, CA Favourite Quote: The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle. It is your killer instinct which must be harnessed if you expect to survive in combat. Your rifle is only a tool. It is a hard heart that kills. If your killer instincts are not clean and strong you will hesitate at the moment of truth. You will not kill. You will become dead marines and then you will be in a world of shit because marines are not allowed to die without permission. Do you maggots understand?

2 AnswersMathematics10 years agowomen's "boyfriend jeans" on men? How come they don't really fit?
This is a stupid question, but I have to ask anyway. I am a dude, normal 30 inch waisted sized one at that. And I have a pair of "boyfriend jeans." They don't fit me very well at all. too baggy around the legs and butt. Too tight around the waist line. How can these really be called Boyfriend jeans if they don't even fit on men properly? This is false advertiszing?

1 AnswerMathematics10 years agoCan someone explain the integral of xe^(-x) - A quick how to do it?
(integral) xe-x dx
suppose you had to integrate this:
f(x) = x e^(-x) dx
from 0 to infinity, what would it add up to?
e^(-x) is same thing as 1/e^x
How can you do this with uv substition?
This looks like the Rayleigh distribution. but its not.
2 AnswersMathematics10 years agoIntegral of xe^x dx with substution please?
can someone help solve this one:
integral of xe^x dx
Thanks,

4 AnswersRussia1 decade agoWill a B20 Engine from A CRV Fit in an 01 Integra LS ?
Hey Guys,
I have an 01 Integra LS with a B18B USD Engine. I want to increase the power in this weak little thing. Can I replace it with a B20B from a Honda CRV, which seem to be in great abundance these days? Will a B20 fit in an Integra LS, and will the OBD-II ECM connect up properly?
If I rebuilt the B18 with Eagle 95MM Stroker Kit would I get the same performance effect?
I don''t want a VTEC. Too much complication for me.
