It means they butcher large blocks out of a movie so they can squeeze a 90 minute movie and an hour of commercials into two hours of broadcast. If you have ever watched TBS you know what I mean.

Most homes can't charge one of these things, at "pump speeds"
How about a super capacitor based charger in the home that slowly fills from the grid and can provide a quick charge to the car? It could double as a squirrel population control device.
No kidding. When I was in the army (early 80's) we flew on an air force C-130 from Frankfurt to Crete. The 'seats' were just web straps. The 'facilities' was a small, rectangular urinal (I assume it just flowed to the outside). I'm not sure what you are supposed to do if you need to take a crap on a long, slow flight.
Has that improved any recently? It just seems like common sense to have a real bathroom. At the very least you don't want the pilot distracted by a large load he can't dump.
It's probably more difficult to get a badger to piss in a bottle than a human. It would also take a lot of badgers to generate 30 liters per day. I suppose a polar bear would generate more, but that causes other problems such as a shortage of interns to feed the bear.

One of these has a future, and one of them does not.

If you want to drink, just drink.
Then you can play CoD4 and barf

McCain and Stevens have been opposing each other on key issues...
Ah yes, the Geritol "Tastes great/Less Filling" debate.
