I can imagine a situation where it would make sense to ring in at 1% confidence. For example: You're behind and there's only 1 more answer on the board and you know it's a daily double, it's otherwise someone else's turn to choose next, and both your opponents already rang in incorrect on a $200 answer. If you don't ring in you save $200 and still lose, but if you ring in and get it right you have a shot at a win.
That's not how to game it. The way to game it is to give a better page to chrome users. For example experts exchange gives chrome users the premium users' page experience. It's a win/win for google either way because that way google *really* wins.
Apologies for the confusion, I was attempting to preemptively call myself out on the douchiness of my post while standing by the basic tenet. I'm aware that calling Australians the descendants of criminals is a little un-PC but I mitigate it by (as an american) admitting to being descended from slave-owning tax-dodgers in order to gain some cred. If the US were to censor a game for having slave-driving or tax-dodging (or for that matter gun-toting) elements I would have no problem with the international community for calling them hypocrites. But I reserve the right to mod them trolls nonetheless.
Whoa, hold on thar cowboy. At least admit it's a bit disengenuous. Like germany preaching tolerance towards jews. Keep a little historic perspective is all I'm really saying. Like it or not, we're all to some extent a product of our national history.

Right because it's a slippery slope from providing contraception to killing people in concentration camps. You're a complete moron.
No but many experts believe that Uranus was wiped clean at one time.
That's a fertilizer bomb! Thanks a lot, outer space.
No. Others are equally geeky.
You can write them off. So a conference in Vegas is like a half-price party weekend. That's assuming you make a lot of money, which you don't.
Alas, the difference between -1 troll and +5 funny is, ultimately, a matter of split second timing.
They can set a persuasive precedent, I think that's what most people here are referring to.

Yes but they make up for it in suicides.
The '70s just called. They want their sense of humor back.
It couldn't be much weirder than the japanese stuff.
Nice of God to "stuff" our galaxy with so many alien worlds. Did he "stuff" each of them with a Jesus?
You must be fun at parties.
How are /. readers not qualified to give meaningful feedback? If this was posted on TMZ I might agree with you.

You upload *to* something. You download *from* something. Got it?

That one's actually a judgment call. For good or bad some people would like to see Fox News stuff up higher.
But not JFK. A president should get to nail hot chicks, but 18+ and only on his birthday.
HTTPS isn't cool. You know what's cool? A billion dollars.

Nice. A whooshjack.
The fact that Australians are descended from criminals is historic fact. It's only offensive if you're Australian and choose to be ashamed of it.
I would've went with slave owners and tax dodgers but I guess that's fair too.
