For many questions, the initial "How can I", "How do I", or "What is the right way to" is uninformative and can be left out of the title in order to make it more concise.

Edit: Over time I have come to prefer leaving in the "How can I," etc., because it helps ensure that question titles can be understood without reading the rest of the question. It also helps focus the question.
