Hi think that sliders definitely have their place. I don't think they
scale well, though, More than 10 stops and things get messy.

I believe that sliders work best with scales within the same values.
Adjusting prices, screen resolution, etc...

For what Tim proposes I believe that a 5 star control (with half
stars maybe) like google videos or windows media player works best.
>From my experience it's harder for users to classify things within a
10 point scale. 5 works best in my opinion.
