Are you serious?

Actually firefox is even worse for memory leak... it's a well know bug in FF2. But, even still it's better than IE
Go with Opera!

Yeah - if I leave Firefox open overnight, I find 1 Gb of memory gone in the morning... a bit aggravating.

That's odd. It's not running hot, so it's not a cooling issue (from what I can tell) but the computer should have a PSU powerful enough to power what they put inside it... and 400W does seem a little weak. Then again, manufacturers like to go with the minimum. However, it should still be fine. What other components do you have in there?

WTF? If I had known it was a competition I'd have actually spent some time on mine

Me too dammit.

I'd be surprised if anyone here DIDN'T get the whole message...

Subaru = pwn

The best thing to do:

"Uhhh... I don't know if I want a subscription to |__________|. You know what, why don't you give me your home number and I'll call you back when I decide... what? Oh, you don't want to give me your home number? You don't want me calling your house? Oh ok - DON'T CALL ME EITHER!" CLICK!

Dust doesn't seem to be the problem in this case...

HAHAHAHA - "in this case." PUN INTENDED!!! LOLZHAXXORS!

Don't! It'll lower my chances!

Lol. I was replying to you in engineering class, and someone looked over and said, "Whoa, she's hot! How did you get her to help you with math?!"

I was like, "Dude. You underestimate me..."

Thanks for your help tho dude.

Is it three or five words in a row that constitutes plagiarism? Cause if it's three - then TECHNICALLY he's ok...

Isn't it negative because the derivative of cos(x) is -sin(x)? So that carries through to the 1/u part...

I just checked it on a friend's TI-89 and his calculator gave me the exact same answer that I had up there...

With regards to the third problem, if you substitute cos(x) as u, then when everything cancels you end up with 1/u and the integral of that is log(u)... (we use log and ln interchangeably here). So then I substitute cos(x) for u again and I get -log|cos(x)| so I'm fairly certain that what I have all the way is right (I don't know if the + c is needed or not in this problem.)

Thing is, when you do the actual integration between the two points given (3c and sqrt(y)) I guess that I'm just going to have one bit LOONG answer with a lot of variables then? Something like this maybe:

-log|cos(3c)| + log|cos(sqrt(y))|

Alright, just did problem #2 and that 2sin(x)cos(x) was what I needed. I wasn't thinking. I really do have to get these identities down...

The answer is 2sin(x) no?

Now to work on the third...

Alright guys, if someone could quickly show me how to do these two problems that'd be great. for some reason, I cannot figure them out!

The first one I can turn into sin(2x)csc(x) but then I get stuck - I'm not sure how to integrate that.

I'm flying high above the ground,
Watching all the world go round,
Trying hard to focus on the,
Whirring image on the wall.*

Wond'ring, as I sit there, blinking,
WHAT THE HELL WAS SCAWEN THINKING,
When he built this horrid, stinking,
Impact system for us all.

All I did was scrape the guardrail,
Nothing more and nothing less,
But suddenly I became airborne,
My car a twisted, mangled mess.

Nonetheless I must confess,
I am a fan of LFS,
Sure, damage modeling's not the best,
But overall I am impressed.

I'd make it longer and better, but I have some calc hw due in about an hour...
* Image on the "wall" being from a projector...

Be careful not to void the warranty... unless you're comfortable doing that.

Quote from KeiichiRX7 :

I often find over here in the states that its actually barely enough, with the way some road ways are designed. Lower horsepower makes you less likely to have a silly moment that ends you up in the ditch on your own, however conversely it also makes the car more dangerous in traffic (such as merging onto highways from urban roads on relatively short access ramps). Low power vehicles pose a danger to not only the driver of the vehicle, but all vehicles around them, as they scramble to cope with a car going much slower than them, in a "high speed" situation.

Exactly my point. I guess you could relate it to the slower cars in a race being sometimes more of a hazard that the cars fighting for the lead. In fact, you go too slow, they take you off the track because it's too dangerous. Not quite the same thing, but you get my point.

Yeah - that's some nasty stuff going around. I know that these things can be dangerous, but I'm hoping for the worst. I'm in Virginia, in the mountains, so tornadoes and such aren't as likely, but I haven't seen a good thunderstorm in years now.

Quote from atlantian :

I got the subi for my b-day, and the celica was a piece of shit when i got it... the engine is totally decimated, the rear wheels have so much camber, you would swear that it converts into a boat... i slide a lot...

Yeah - the latter sounds a lot like my car.

Too bad I'll be driving it until I can save enough to buy a new car myself.

wheel4hummer...

...Saturn logo...

...I got confused for a sec.

Also +1

That's because they are completely random, lol. Try as I might, I still can't figure out a configuration that doesn't look retarded.

Well, mines going on - what - 1 year, 1 month now without issue...

Regardless of the "free" part, the fact of the matter is that your system is far better than ours. Plain and simple.
