Return to Question

On a regular base, people ask questions with no other possible answer then:

No, that can't be done, because...

Mostly, this is because of a lack of technical understanding of OP, or because people exactly want to copy the behaviour of another OS. In these situations, the best possible answer(s) explain why it is not possible and suggests one or more alternative solutions, if available.

If an answer convinces you that what you asked for is impossible, "beyond reasonable doubt", and it explains very well why, my suggestion is to consider accepting nevertheless.

We don't always get what we want. That does not mean the answer explaining why cannot be accepted.

Mostly, this is because of a lack of technical understanding, or because people exactly want to apply how another OS worked. In these situations, the best possible answer(s) explain why it is not possible and suggests one or more alternative solutions, if available.

My suggestion in such cases is to consider accepting nevertheless, if you are convinced what you asked for is impossible. It makes it more attractive to answer this kind of questions. For the rep? No way. I'd rather answer a question with a single upvote and an optional acceptance, than with four upvotes, but you know there is no way it is accepted without giving OP exactly what is requested.

###Why is that? To me, the confirmation that an answer is the best possible what can be done to OP's situation is more important than the reputation. It is the confirmation of the quality of an answer, be it subjective to OP's point of view. I am pretty sure I am not the only one in that.

My suggestion therefore is:

 Please consider accepting an answer, if it explains well why what you asked for is impossible
