What is the difference between administrator, moderator, and people like me?

Did something special happen that day? That is an awful lot of users, especially early in the morning US time.

Cleveland area..."the Mistake on the Lake". I learned Latin because my guidance counselor advised it (it was a parochial school). He also coincidentally was the Latin teacher. We got into this situation in the class where we started laughing, and he said "Chapter 5 is on the accusative case. Read it and do all the exercises." Of course, we just laughed all the more so he said "Chapter 6 is on the genitive case. Read it and do all the exercises." We went through the whole book this way. Needless to say, nobody finished their homework. Next year, I had to ask the upper class Latin teacher (who was different) for an exception to taking the course. Me and a friend learned some Esperanto years later. He quit, but I got far enough to read simple children books just like I read English. I dropped it though, and have forgotten most of it.

Voiceprint is already a technology for authenticating a voice, and even detecting emotion. Voice synthesis is progressing at a great rate of speed (as is all other computer technology). If Crystal or Goodman should die, it might be tough to make a sequel without either a good voice impersonator or advanced voice synthesis (if Pixar is so picky about not changing voices). My cousin's daughter was in a car wreck that nearly killed her...she was not expected to survive, then was expected to have brain damage. Miraculously, she has almost totally recovered. Another cousin had a heart attack and "died" a couple times in the hospital. Life is fragile.

I don't know if this will influence Pixar's same cast attitude if they delay a sequel long enough to allow a main character voice actor to die, but in not too many years we should have voice synthesizers which can take a large amount of speech (like from an actor's soundtracks) and synthesize something which would pass a voiceprint machine, much less a human ear.
