The "undisclosed" bank... Well, that will put a lot of people's minds at rest - not. What bank transfers huge amounts of money based on the manager "recognising the voice" of a customer? Sounds like there may be some work for some security analysts in the Middle East coming up very soon...

Lots of banks use voice recognition for authentication. It's not a manager listening to the voice, it's a computer. (EDIT: I just read the article and saw that it was a bank employee.)
I know that Fidelity Investments uses voice recognition to authenticate callers.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

One would hope so. Probably bad reporting but it does refer to the "branch manager" recognising the voice...

Yeah, they use it in addition to the usual forms of authentication. They don't use it only by itself.

Using one factor authentification is totally foolish. The bank system should still ask for a passphrase even though the voice is matching already. Also there should be limit on how much transfer can be done in a day. In my country, one can only transfer a maximum of 20 millions IDR (about 1400 USD) in a day when you perform distant operation like this. More than that, you have to come to the bank. Like this, a hacker can't simply empty your saving. The bank will send notification to me whenever a transaction happened.
The Bank in this news shold be responsible for the loss.

The whole idea of me writing here - for me anyway - is I like to make cool code accessible.
Stuff I find cool can be complicated, but I put my pants on one leg at a time* like everyone else, so if I could understand it, I'm pretty sure I can make you understand it, unless I am not currently talented enough to explain the concepts myself. Bottom line is, the way I see it, I need to level up in order to accomplish my goal, particularly since you aren't the first person that told me this. 
*that's a metaphor, I will neither confirm nor deny wearing pants

Oh come on. Everyone knows witches wear pants.

I only get about or two a year and in the 14+ years I have been on this site, I've been the first to reply correctly less than a handful of times.
However, I do like the "Ah Ha!" moment when the answer is revealed (when I understand them).
Perhaps we should have rule that recent winners give the rest of us a head start, e.g. 09:00 start time for standard users and 09:30 for recent winners. A 'recent winner' could be anyone who has won in the preceding 14 calendar days and after the 14 days, the 'recent winner' can revert to being a standard user. Just an idea!

If that's something people think would help, I'm fine with it as a rule change. With one proviso: who gets to police this? 
Let's take a vote: "Yes" or "No", reply to this message and we'll count 'em Tuesday to give people a chance.

My thumbs-up should be taken as a yes. Sounds like a good idea - though maybe we should extend it to 10:00?

Fine with me - I agree with Derek though, 10.00am would be better - it's going to be difficult to police though being an international site.

If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.
