Motorcycles are grandfathered in. They wouldn't be allowed if they were invented today, any more than a highway-speed Segway is.

I suppose you support private roads, police and fire departments. People who want roads and safety can pay for them, but it shouldn't be paid for society as a whole.

It was a scheduled rapid disassembly.

Around 25 years ago I was writing for a company developing a multitrack recording system using BeOS. Man, BeOS was snappy; it was designed to be a media (audio and video) OS. In many ways it was better than Linux as an alternate OS to Macs and Windows, but Linux won.
