Don't you mean, there are only 10 types of women?

And where does this money come from? Certainly not from a sense of entrepreneurship.

I myself have used vlite to rip out things I considered useless in Vista, including IE. This caused me an entire world of pain, however. As the parent said, Help CHM files rely on IE libraries, and so does anything else, even steam if I remember correctly. The truth is, that IE is so hopelessly embedded into Windows, it will probably take a lot of work to extract it, and even more to convince 3rd party vendors to not rely on its presence.

I don't see the inherent problem with using a click track. If we take a band like Dream Theater, where both John Petrucci (guitar) and Jordan Rudess (Keyboards) play ridiculous solos, generally 'dueling' with each other. This would be impossible if the rhythm section was speeding up and slowing down. I would much rather hear crisp, perfectly synchronised solos, with that hint of mechanisation, than muddy, out of time solos that finish at different times.

However, this does not mean I think click tracks are always good. They are only required for an act such as Dream Theater, because quite often the band are pushing their technical skills as far as they can go, and I believe they need that extra help. In the case of a band playing something at a somewhat gentle 60 - 80 bpm, there shouldn't really be any excuse.

Saying that, I used to play trombone in a classical orchestra, and the conductor was vital in all pieces of music. Whether he is as vital in a 5 piece band as a 100 piece orchestra, however, is up for debate.

I am probably going to get shot down here for even suggesting such a thing, but a good friend of mine has an eeePC, and, after trying various linux distros, and XP, actually found that Windows 7 worked impressively well. He had to use Vlite, or whatever the Windows 7 equivalent is, to strip it back so it would fit on the highspeed SSD chip, as opposed to the larger drive, but apart from that, its fantastic. I have had a play with it myself, everything works, and there are no compatibility issues, it seems to be rock solid. And comparable in speed to XP. Certainly its ability to go to sleep and wake up is very snappy indeed. So yea, don't necessary get hung up on Linux, give Windows 7 a go!

It is effectively 2 years after the initial release. Vista came out in what, 2006?

I am, my apologies. The end of a long day of physics. That gives a light-distance of 46 mm, or around 5cm. So I got the right final value, just dodgy working.

What I think is really amazing about this is that at a clock speed of 6.5 GHz, each cycle takes around 15 nanoseconds (15 * 10^-9 seconds) to complete. In this time frame light can only travel around 5 cm. Electrical signals travel close to this speed themselves, so the limit of clock speeds is being reached, since the chip itself is on this same order of distance. It is around the point where one side of the chip will not be able to communicate with the other side in a single clock cycle.

You mention doppler shift, despite the fact these are electromagnetic waves, and you have to be in something moving very very fast to observe this effect. Anything land based won't get near those speeds
