Oops the 3rd was put to KVO..., its a military hospital by the way. He was nearly unconscious at that time and blood is not that rapidly available in emergency like that, well, he survived though. His other mate was shot in the cheeks and its squirting. After stabilizing, we transferred them for surgery in another hospital.

Why do some of my .mp3 songs replace their own thumbnail with the thumbnail of another song.
Our Song - Taylor Swift has from Disturbed's Asylum album cover. And all my songs by Hitomi Takahashi has Daft Punk's Alive album cover. >_O I changed it with mp3tag editor but it changes back to wtf. My Asylum and Alive album are directly extracted from the CD I bought from store, not sure if that makes a diff. I can imagine a friend scouring my playlist and giving me weird looks if they see the Taylor Swift song with Disturbed cover. |

How long would it take me to I reach Rome if I walk from starting Beijing passing to Bangladesh, ,India, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, Spain, France then Italy? Why? Just checking for the accuracy of my plan novel which includes traveling such distance. Please consider rest and sleep as well....

Assuming 06am - 12pm walk, lunch for 1 hr, then another 6hrs walk till dinner, that's about 12 hours of walking per day. At my pace, that would be 60km per day. Use Google to get a rough estimation of the distance you will need to cover, and divide by the daily pace. Cheers.

Let's assume strictly straight paths between capital cities? Note: numbers will have ',' separating thousands and '.' for decimal. Note 2: Ignoring significant digits.
Distances (by air): http://www.geobytes.com/citydistance.htm Beijing, China to Dhaka, Bangladesh: 3028 km Dhaka, Bangladesh to New Delhi, India: 1425 km New Delhi, India to Baghdad, Iraq: 3162 km Baghdad, Iraq to Cairo, Egypt: 1296 km Cairo, Egypt to Tripoli, Libya: 1741 km Tripoli, Libya to Tunis, Tunisia: 514 km Tunis, Tunisia to Rabat, Morocco: 1571 km Rabat, Morocco to Madrid, Spain: 761 km Madrid, Spain to Paris, France: 1054 km Paris, France to Rome, Italy: 1106 km Total distance = 15,658 km Average walking speed is about 5 km/h. That leaves a walking time of 3131.6 hours, which approximates to 130.483 days of straight walking. Let's assume 12 hours of walking per day everyday, leaving 12 hours to do whatever. Then, it would take about 260.967 days. My math should be correct. But distances may be wrong. Distances may vary based on where in each country you visit and how straight a path you take. Also, you'll be passing through the Himalayas. Anyways, to find how many days a journey will take, simply take ((total distance)/(speed of travel))/(time per day spent traveling), and remember units are important.

First of all, you can multiply those distances dragon4dudes posted at least by 1½ due to geography of the areas in between. I'd bet that the completely direct route is not an option. Second the going somewhere midway through Pakistan gets really rough. It's pretty barren from there all the way to Morocco, apart of a few bits of course. So I'd halve the average walking pace as well. Furthermore I doubt that you'd actually be able or willing to gather a cavalry of 2 million, thus you're left with the pace of the infantry. As a realistic guestimate I'd say it'd take somewhere around 3 years and if you'd have 2 million men on departure, you'd have probably somewhere around 300000 on arrival.

The only armies I can think of with such an awkward marching plan would occur in the Risk world.
Same assumptions as before, straight path, capital to capital, 12 hours per day. Horses have 4 different gaits: walk (6.4 km/h), trot (13 km/h), canter (16-27 km/h), gallop (40-48 km/h) (days are for 12 hours of travel per day at constant speed) Horseback walk: 2446.56 hours, 203.88 days Trot: 1204.46 hours, 100.37 days Canter: 579.93 - 978.625 hours, 48.33 - 81.55 days Gallop: 326.21 - 391.45 hours, 27.18 - 32.62 days Distances (by air): Moscow, Russia to Athens, Greece: 2231 km Athens, Greece to Baghdad, Iraq: 1933 km Baghdad, Iraq to Beijing, China: 6300 km Total Distance: 10,464 km (days are for 12 hours of travel per day at constant speed) Human walking: 2,092.8 hours, 174.4 days Horse walking: 136.25 hours, 136.35 days Trot: 804.92 hours, 67.08 days Canter: 387.56 - 654 hours, 32.30 - 54.5 days Gallop: 218 - 261.6 hours, 18.67 - 21.8 days @escimo Thanks for an estimation factor. You could simply multiply the time by 1.5 and that would give you the same result without having redo all that division (assuming you multiplied the whole distance bye 1.5).

It's nice for handling a huge stack of songs, that you don't have the time to sort yourself. |

2 and a half hours? It all depends on what you do when you're tired. I have friends who jog when their tired, some people stop and walk into a restaurant and eat for an hour and continue running. And first-timer as in you don't run or you don't exercise? A football or basketball player (amateur/junkie) can do that in 1:40:00 hours easily.
I can finish full marathon in 3:20:00~3:45:00. I'm long distance cyclist (running is completely different muscle usage, but the endurance/respiration ability is there). Marathon people usually finish under 3 hours. Wear comfy shoes, thick pair of socks and bring 2 bottles of water. The thing I love about marathon is you literally sweat the water off that you never need to pee. (I PEE WITH MY FOREHEAD, PROBLEM?) *EDIT: Wait what? Halloween? That's not in 5 months D: Last edited by Paranoid Android; 2012-05-04 at 12:20. |

That tool has a huge amount of options and categories you can use to sort your stuff, but it still works fine if you just ignore 95% of them. I just sort my music in folders after current date + source. Then I manage a couple of playlists with favorites, songs that might not be trash and so on. I don't ever bother deleting anything that might be remotely good though. It has the nice effect, that I can switch the player to random and it works like a radio stream, playing music I never knew existed. |
