For example, I pledged 100$ (plus shipping) for Double Fine Adventure, and that is:
• Special edition box containing both the game disc and a DVD or Blu-Ray of the documentary, • Double Fine Adventure Backer T-shirt, • original "Double Fine Adventure" poster (suitable for framing), • special thanks in the game’s credits • PDF version of the Double Fine Adventure Book (filled with 100+ full color pages of concept art, original photos, developer bios, excerpts from the game’s script, deep dark secrets, and more!)
@studiohack Given that I paid 90€ (120 USD) for the Diablo III Collector's Edition with art book, sound track, USB stick (?!), and Behind the Scenes DVD...
Weird Question, if my ear phones shorted with my 220v mains, will the electricity low through the earphones, through my ear and to my brain and kill me ?
When I was about 8, i tried to make a electrical magnet with an earphone wire and a screw. You can imagine what I did. When I put the thing in 220V, I felt like hulk has pulled me back from behind. :P
Also wanted to go see 30 Seconds To Mars, but noticed their concert too late and it were numbered places.
So yeah, sitting somewhere in a nearly "sold out" place isn't worth the money as much as being in the crowd.
@HackToHell: Well, for TS there's her Fearless videos (on YT, contains a bit of background story/talking/documentary as well) and she released a DVD of her Speak Now tour (her full concert).
The US version, which is slightly more worked out than the Europe one.
@HackToHell: The only thing I would go to the UK for is Beverley Craven at the moment...
Although she's quite old so I'm concerned whether her voice would make her concert sound, and if she'll perform all her songs or just completely different stuff.
So, I'm not planning on that unless I hear more about the concert somehow.

Now back with more questions for SU (without APC however).
@TomWijsman I also tend to drop files in a few folders, actually one folder which has more folders in it. Then i forget to sort everything until it grows to state where i feel lazy to wade through hundreds of data. This is organizational and productivity dilemma to be honest. Search would be good, but what if you forget names of stuff you need?
Therefore i reckon this topic is appropriate for SU as well as Personal Productivity sections.
SE wants that to be the community in theory, but in practice it's the valued assocaties and then the moderators and then the highest reputation users (by actions they can perform and trustability).
It's just a personal reaction based off the meta question and earlier question; @Sathya doesn't even care to outline his decisions, referring to previous meta questions on the SU <--> Skeptics borders or tell me why his decision is different than the recent blog post...
There is really no point in closing a question that was first not constructive enough and then closing a question that is very constructive, while both questions perfectly fit within the scope of Super User.
which question? I've mentioned why I'veclosed the first on meta, the second is because you're asking for thesis and research level data, not software solution.
There's nothing that makes facts / references longer than walls of rant / personal opinions / noise.
@Sathya I'll put it different and easy for you to answer: Since when are thesis and research level data off-topic for Super User or any Stack Exchange sites? How do I know if my answer fits right between "not constructive" and "too scientific"?
Sorry Clippy, this one's for Sathya...
@JourneymanGeek: Same goes for you, please answer these two questions (amended my meta question to ask about that).
@JourneymanGeek And since when is thesis level work off-topic on Super User? Perhaps someone has read such a thesis before, or has even measured this before?
@TomWijsman @JourneymanGeek @Sathya I don't know if there is a real standalone solution to the dilemma but one could pay his most trusted relative to make an order in his computer for $ of course. I once was offered such a task from buddy i recall.
Outsourcing this to philippine worker could work out very cheap, but if it is sensitive data we are talking about, then you cannot trust anyone.
That didn't took any longer than searching something for another US question, and reading the conclusion (or scanning through it) doesn't take much longer either.
If I self-answer with the first paper I found on it, it would discourage people from answering with a more recent / intrusive paper they have found because there is already an answer.
I'm not looking for reputation here, @JourneymanGeek, I'm looking for a valuable answer that we can use to link to when future questions get asked about this topic.
@TomWijsman I am not suggesting this or want to take part in this research, but money could be motivator and solution here to make it worthwhile for interested people.
Voted to reopen the second topic. I don't see why this is off topic, it's about file systems, file browsers, desktop search, metadata and all that on topic stuff. I'd tone down the research thing a bit, but given the subjectivity issues of the first topic, it's understandable that @TomWijsman ask for more objectivity.
@JourneymanGeek: Also, you have answered on my old meta question, I thought you said you were answering on my recent meta question about my Super User question so I commented in error there.
@JourneymanGeek There are two Super User questions and two Meta questions, I want to see my Super User question open because its close reason does not make sense and do not care about the order Super User question. Actually, I don't even care anymore about my older Meta question either, in other shorter words: I only care about my latest SU and Meta.SU question.
@DanielBeck Exactly, I tried to salvage the other one but the community deemed that one as still not constructive. In fact my answer there didn't use facts or references, which makes me not care about that one anymore and rather take the right approach to it.
@JourneymanGeek For semantical there indeed isn't, which is also what that paper I linked mentions (allows for future research though); but for structural there is.
@HackToHell: Amount of files per folder, amount of subfolders per folder, amount of folders deep.
Having a single download folder with a lot of files, no subfolders and no folders deep is what I have now; you could subjectively see that that's not efficient.
I mean, ask anyone to "give me the pictures that you took last week" if they are in a single folder with lots of other data and it's going to be slower than clicking through three folders and selecting the right files (or searching for that third folder's name).
(Your structure does help with searching)
On the other hand, having like ten folders deep is again going to be a problem.
That's why the paper I linked measures that and mentions 3 folders deep to be the most efficient. (If I read it correctly, too much interruption [not just SU])
@JourneymanGeek Me too, just some songs without metadata, It's mostly all mp3 in one dir, Windows Media Player does a good job with my library, never been to that folder ! :)
@slhck Read my two latest meta questions (or just the latest one with the longer title, I don't care about the older one anymore).
I understand your close on the older one, so my "close minded" refers more to people that would close my new one. Which is thus far only a single person and everyone who would close it as well...
or if i wanted to replace anything by indica in mp3 in flac? I delete the folders at the bottom (since filetype is the bottom level folder), add the new ones (say indica/album/flac) drag the new folder into foobar2k, and boom
