These two questions seem essentially identical, but they've attracted a whole bevy of answers (five on one question, three on the other) which look to be worth preserving.
Should these two questions be merged? Needs a mod, but I'm posting on meta instead of just flagging because I'm new to this community (not to SE) and don't know the norms here yet.
We haven't had a lot of merges, but merges are infrequent everywhere so that's not surprising. What we need to determine -- and this can be done by the community; it doesn't require a mod -- is: does every answer on both questions fit with the single question that would be the result of the merge? I assume the surviving question would be the older one, which is a little more detailed.
Merges can't be undone by mere mortals (that would need a developer reaching directly into the database), so we want to be sure before we pull the trigger. In the meantime, that newer question should be closed as a duplicate -- a prerequisite for merging. I see two suggested duplicate targets, so I'm not applying the mod-hammer on that yet.
These two questions - yes, I think they're similar enough that, as Monica states in her answer, every answer in both questions would fit both. At least, I skimmed over them, and it seemed so.
I suggested a different duplicate in my VTC: one that was created as a canonical question, because we were seeing too many questions of the "my idea is similar to X" kind. Because it was created to be canonical, I always point similar question to it, rather than to other similar questions. The level of similarities between the questions you point to is greater, though.
