| 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. | |

Impossible is boring. Teasing apart why it is impossible is an interesting mental exercise, and makes for an entertaining answer. | |

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... | |
