What software (free or otherwise) is out there to help me do XYZ?". Anything else is, like @nhinkle said, "make the decision for me"... | |

@nhinkle Good point, but not exactly what I'm asking. You probably wouldn't tag the latter software-rec.

| Sep 28, 2011 at 21:59 | comment | added | nhinkle Mod | I have to run to class, so I don't have time to elaborate, but it's similar to the nuances of hardware recommendations. Consider the difference between "what power supply should I buy?" and "how can one figure out what type of power supply they need?". The former is "give me teh products", the other is "how can I learn this". Likewise, we have a difference between "tell me a good ISO burner" and "how can I burn ISOs to DVDs on Windows 7?". | |
