>>shorted?
This means shorting the ground and neutral lugs. Don't do this with a GFI.

>floated?
This means leave the ground lug unconnected aka floating. IIRC, this is the proper thing to do to a GFI if you don't have a proper ground. Be very sure to mark the plug as ungrounded ON THE OUTSIDE.

>power filter?
Setting up a GFI like above will protect you from getting fatally zapped from faulty equipment or use of equipment. Some equipment however really wants a proper ground. Things like UPSes, surge suppressors and power filters.

Pic related, it's a urge suppressor + power filter.
