Comment Re:Countdown timers are only for pedestrians? (Score 2) 579

Drivers should use whatever information is out there to avoid accidents.

I have seen leadfoots speed up when the count was low. Bad driving (excessive speed) is rewarded with more tickets and accidents leading to higher insurance rates . In light of this story, perhaps not enough tickets are being issued.

I have seen bus drivers slow down in similar situations. Good driving benefits everyone.

Comment Multi user games (Score 2) 115

I like old Avalon Hill strategy battle type games. We paid $60 each for them - and I'd buy modern computerized versions of them at the same price. Each player could use their mobile/tablet as his or her interface. Common elements (i.e. public information) could be displayed on a large TV or computer screen. Why aren't these games (re)made?

Comment Refunds indicate bad tax planning (Score 4, Insightful) 632

A large refund is a sign of poor tax planning. You are getting your own money back without interest. In light of this story, you may not even get your own money back if the feds take it.

Arrange your source deductions and installment payments so that you don't get a refund.

It would be better to owe $2K each year than to expect refunds.
