Sep 28, 2013 at 16:41 comment added Ben Voigt @Athom: Yeah I'm agreeing with you just providing clarification. Even for example legally installing Mac OSX may not impossible if some jurisdiction doesn't allow tying a license to particular hardware.
Sep 28, 2013 at 15:28 comment added Austin T French @BenVoigt I don't think they should be closed, just that impossible as an answer is sometimes correct, given sufficient details.
Sep 28, 2013 at 15:23 comment added Ben Voigt @AthomSfere: And those are votable answers. Psyco makes a good point these questions shouldn't be closed. A determination of impossibility requires subject matter expertise, and therefore is not suitable for moderation.
Sep 18, 2013 at 11:19 comment added Journeyman Geek Mod It might be useful to say why "You really do not want to be messing with that fiiiine museum piece, nor invoke the ghost of jobs". Impossible is boring. Teasing apart why it is impossible is an interesting mental exercise, and makes for an entertaining answer.
Sep 17, 2013 at 17:24 comment added Austin T French Some things are certainly impossible. I need to accelerate my R18 Honda Civic to C without converting it energy <-- Impossible. I need to legally install Mac OSX on my IBM PC, currently it is running the factory installed version of OS/2... Also not possible...
