I saw this question  but it did not make it clear for me.  I named a music folder like "General music". It includes music of different artist and genres. Would it be better to name it "Generic music" or in this context they are completely interchangeable?

What is the difference between them? Do they have different meanings? When should I use "general" or "generic"?

I've always been one to simply use:  List&lt;String&gt; names = new ArrayList&lt;&gt;();   I use the interface as the type name for portability, so that when I ask questions such as these I can rework my code.    When should  be used over  and vice-versa?

I have created 100&nbsp;GB for /. When I opened Nautilus I have found the root folder. So what is difference between / and /root?  My username is enigma, and I have a folder named enigma in the /home folder and another folder with the same name in /media. What is the difference between these two folders and when do I have to use the second folder?

Background: I'm making a retro style game for both fun, and an unofficial contest.   I have bought a song, song X. However, I then found notation for song X, and all the instruments. So basically, it's a program recreating song X in a sense.  I took the notation, and used another program to make it sound like a chiptune does (just for the fun of it, and it sounds good :P). However, I would like to use this in my game. It's non-commercial, but is this allowed? I would've said yes, because I'm not actually using the original, copyrighted song.  I think the main point is can I:   Use the music with no reference to the author Use the music with a reference, since it's non-profit. Not use the music at all since the melody and rhythm is copyright.

I want to tag different file types (i.e. .pdf, .epub, .iso, .bin, folders,..) using the same descriptive fields. For example i would like a metadata field "type" which would be "eBook" on pdf- and epub-files, "CD-Image" on iso- and bin-files.  I read about Alternate Data Streams (ADS) to make this possible. Does anyone know a good program for Windows 7 to tag different files and search for them? It is important for me, that the metadata is NOT stored in a separate database. I move the files a lot and need to stay flexible (ADSs 'stick' to the files).  Any ideas?

My problem is that I have only one reference. So I would like the head of this part to appear "Reference" instead of commonly "References". More generally, could we change the title "References" to an arbitrary name?  Thank you very much for your help!

On the  are two categories: "Reputation &amp; Privileges" and the seemingly redundant "Privileges". Both have a small entry count and were likely intended to be merged.  They probably should be merged or the first should be renamed to "Reputation".  Showing the word "Privileges" twice looks like a mistake.

I recently posted a question about using a site structure similar to what's shown below.   example.com/bikes/foo-bike/wheels    //content about foo-bike's wheels example.com/bikes/bar-bike/wheels    //content about bar-bike's wheels   If two bikes are at comparable price points, it's likely that they will have similar components. Should I be concerned if multiple bikes have similar content and the only major difference between them is their component name?  The website I'm creating is a user guide for bikes. With the URL structure above I'm a little worried that I run the risk for creating duplicate content.

Could anyone tell me what is up with so many archives, and how are they differ?  There's at least five that I can think of, .tar.tz, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.lz, .tar.z  Which is best for what applications? It just seems silly to make so many variations of the same file but I'm sure there's a reason.

I am wondering if we should use  or  for buttons and headings in websites and web/mobile apps? Title Case: Manage my Account Delete my Account  Sentence case: Manage my account Delete my account  In  I found the recommendation 'choose your style and be consistent'. This is it? Aren't there any other (additional) recommendations or sources. Like for specific use cases or apps where the one style would be preferred over the other? Edit: The question refers primarily to English, but differences in other languages are also good to know.

I wanted to put my work files (code) in /usr/local/src, but I think it's already a folder that has some other semantic meaning.  What is that? Should I put source code there, or is there a better place?  Edit - I am the sole user and admin of the machine, and I don't want to use my home directory because it's on an NFS drive.

I wonder if it is possible to say "musical school" instead of "music school" (with the same meaning 'a school of music'). Recently I have come across several sentences like that:  *The obvious genius of the child had been noticed by the family, and his mother took him to a musical school.   In general, I am a classical  Muscovite, who went to musical school in my childhood,  therefore I dream of buying a piano...*  Thanks.

I have a music album, but whole album is in single flac file and tracks are listed in cue file. So I'd like to split it into tracks, but also fill the id3 tags and name files by track name.

How do you join multiple MP3 files into one?  "cat" and "mp3wrap" are no good as they produce non standard MP3 files.  I know I can use audacity, but when you have 1000's of MP3 files to join into one, it takes too long.  Any suggestions?

If I have a number of directories, named, for example 10001 through 10025 is there any reason to use ls 1*/foo vs. ls 100??/foo?  I have a lot more than 25 of them, so I mostly curious if there's any differences in speed.  I know the difference in use between the two, that the asterisk will match longer file names, like 10001.backup. But let's say I don't have any files that don't follow my conventions. Is there any behind-the-scenes differences?

Since I'm confused with these two phrases, I did a search in Google Books hoping to find some examples. But then I found :     Two private spaces or replicas cannot contain the same object with two distinct references. For example, during a disconnected phase, the pump can be present in two different private spaces and still be designated with the same name. During a meeting, two replicas use a same name to access the pump object(local or distant).   This made me more confused. I don't really understand why "the same name" was used in one sentence while "a same name" was used in another. Are there any differences between them?

To help a soon-to-be sister site out , I was thinking English.SE perhaps could lend a helping hand as this is the best place for "word choice and usage".  I'm not looking for "naming", but rather want to see what shorter words exist for expressing "music end-users/enthusiasts", these could be "journalists, reviewers, music fans and listeners".  I've tried, but can't come up with something... . From Urban Dictionary I have  which is another word for a Music enthusiast of the Modern age; but yeah, it's UD and I don't think selvyn is really English to begin with...  So... do you know of a single word to express "music end-users/enthusiasts"?
