Adobe Photoshop CS docs say:
In addition to setting opacity for a layer, which affects any layer styles and blending modes applied to the layer, you can specify a fill opacity for layers. Fill opacity affects pixels painted in a layer or shapes drawn on a layer without affecting the opacity of any layer effects that have been applied to the layer.
Huh? Can someone give me an instance when I would want one over the other? Up until now I've just been arbitrarily playing with the settings, but I really want to know :)

Lets say you create some type. Then you give it a stroke (outline) as a layer effect. Now you want the fill of the type to be semi transparent but the outline to stay completely opaque.. or vise versa. That would be the idea. :)

Like so...
As with any graphics app its one of those functions which at face value may not seem like much (as demonstrated below;)) but in more complex situations comes in handy way more often than you'd think.
