The televangelists didn't need to "figure out" anything. Religion's already been a business for millennia. The televangelists are simply continuing a tradition that's been going on ever since ancient man first decided that everything we see around us has to be the product of a powerful being or beings that look, act and think pretty much the same way we do.
Wait a minute. You cancelled your subscription because they wouldn't let you watch Star Trek: Voyager?! You should be getting on your knees and thanking them for sparing you such torture!
There's also the wate heat from all the buildings, vehicles, etc. We produce a lot of heat in our day to day lives, and there's a lot more people in a city than in an equivalent area of countryside.
We've been helping them along for years, through our use of baited traps that serve only to provide pressure for mice to evolve increased intelligence and manual dexterity in order to remove the cheese without springing the trap. I'd say it's only a matter of time before they discover fire and split the atom.
All the Fed have to do is outlaw encrypted internet traffic. How hard could that be?
Easy, if they don't mind stopping all internet commerce and severely impacting the bottom lines of countless companies (many of which are big enough to have considerable influence on the government.)
Jar Jar was one of the key players in Palpatine's rise to power (remember who it was who originally gave him emergency powers) and is thus inderectly responsible for all those killed due to Imperial rule, which, of course, includes the entire population of Alderaan, as well as countless others. Don't be too quick to praise him.
There's a simple answer to that: Just don't make the procedures for installing software from locations other than the distribution maintainer's package repository user-friendly.

Don't you see? This is all a plot by those liberal Europeans to ram their Venus into Uranus!

Sure it did. The US dragged their heels for as long as they could before getting involved with that war.
No, we'll have to wait a bit longer than that. The Centauri won't give us jumpgate technology until 2155.
It might also tell smething about people who answer to posts complaining about spelling mistakes in spam.
More like a redundancy.
There's video games that destroy your lungs and liver now?

In Soviet Russia, joke goes without YOU!
There's no such thing as too much Contra.
Just as long as there's no stiffly pantomined sex involved.
A spoon is dull, you twit; it would hurt more.
The boxes, of course, were available sooner.
Whoah.
Yes, it's come a long way from previous versions of Windows.
Doesn't mean it's any good now, especially when compared to what else is available.
Who controls the British crown? Who keeps the Metric system down?
Who keeps Atlantis off the maps? Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
Who holds back the electric car? Who makes Steve Gutenberg a star?

Actually, Funny moderations don't affect Karma, which I think is pretty stupid.

Were they cured by gypsies or did they travel to Africa and pass a series of trials?
He should run for President.

Sounds like a horror movie plotline. "They warned him not to release the giant spring. He didn't listen."
