I would recommend against this practice [coasting] mainly for security reasons. You may suddenly need to accelerate to avoid an accident.
In many years of driving I have never once needed to accelerate to avoid an accident - except when overtaking, when of course I am certainly not going to be in neutral. Can you give an example of how this could occur - passing a red light and realising you need to get clear of the intersection asap perhaps? Not my style. I confess I did used to coast downhill years ago (college days) but do not do this today as (as others have said) modern cars shut off all fuel on the overrun.
Your advice on "security" grounds is very dated - it originated in the days when car brakes were quite poor, final drive ratios were quite low and the engine drag was a significant part of the effect. I actually have my Grandfather's "How to Drive a Motor Car" handbook from the 1930's that explains this. However, in all my own cars over the last 20 years (all larger cars), the retarding effect of the engine on the overrun is near negligable. I have also driven small cars where it is an appreciable effect however.
It happened to me once in over 30 years of driving. I was waiting in a right turn lane (in the UK) and traffic was stopped at the red lights. I heard a screeching of brakes behind and in the mirror I saw a BMW plowing towards me at about 90mph. He could not change lanes becasue of lines of parked cars, so I accelerated and turned a hard left infront of the two lines of stationary traffic. The BMW went through cross traffic, fortunately just clipping a car which came to a halt and the BMW span out. Very rare but it can happen
The vehicle in question doesn't have a conventional key. Observe. The card with the red fob hanging off it is the key and I'm not sure if the card is able to be removed while the vehicle is running.
I have a Rrenault, and you usually only need the key to be in the car to start it - not in the slot. If the alarm is activated or you press the "lock" button on the fob when the car is already locked then you need to put it in the slot - I think this is supposed to make it harder for robbers from bundling you into the passenger seat and drive off
Go into an empty parking lot with an automatic transmission.
... put the care into drive... then pull the handbreak...The car will keep rolling on every vehicle I've ever driven
At that speed the car will be in a low gear, so it is more likely for the engine to overpower the handbrake. At 125 mph the engine will be in a high gear, so less likely.
There's also no physical way for the brakes to not stop the car - all modern cars brakes are connected hydraulically to the actual pads, and power-boosted so you can get more braking power. There isn't a mechanical means by which you can push the brake and somehow accelerate the car - unless you're hitting the accelrator.
This sounds way more like he left the cruise control on and kept stepping on the accelerator, then panicked about it - because pressing the accelerator in most cars won't disengage cruise control.
The car was adapted for a disabled driver. These adaptions can be anything from a knob on the steering wheel to an electronic joystick control. My guess is it was an electronic control that went wrong and the breaks really did work the accelerator.
Renault now has stupid electric handbrakes. These helpfully won't engage over 7mph. I have accidentally put it on at 5mph and the car comes to a jarring halt.
To get more actors into movie, they could set story on a bus... that just cannot go below 55mph... or something.
Except that this time the bus is taking a group of female sexaholics to a treatment centre. As their medication wears off the male bust driver finds he has a whole lot of added distractions while he is trying to drive.
The real reason they're doing this is to test the new Ubuntu £inux phones. Those phones have experimental GPS tracking ribbons that transmit your location to the NSA from anywhere in the world along with a list of all the files on your phone. These are the same tracking ribbons used in 20 dollar bills. They have internal power supplies that are as thin as, well, paper, and are based on dark projects. Ubuntu phone is the next step.
Wow they have a great plan.... just wait for the 100% take up of Ubuntu phone and... oh wait!
the "female program" (or the w32.female virus) is extremely unpredictable, and any efforts to eradicate such infection will result in your bank accounts also becoming infected.
With NatWest I have to use a card reader and my PIN to set up a new payee online. Someone who broke into my account could pay my credit card bill or transfer money to my brother but would find it hard to actually gt their hands on my cash.
Its same with Nationwide and Coop. YBS uses a confirmation by phone system, where a an automated call tells you a number that you need to enter on their site.
I have accounts with First Niagara (they acquired my HSBC account), ING Direct (recently acquired by CapitalOne) and Ally Banks. I frequently move money between them through the web interface - real easy to set up, you just need to be able to log in to both accounts you're transferring between. Furthermore, my girlfriend has an account with Keybank and we transfer money from her account to mine about once a month to cover living expenses (I pay for almost everything up front, she pays me her share monthly). All I needed from her to set it up was her password.
If I get your banking login info, I can probably get a good chunk of your money before you realize it. Fortunately, many banks offer email alerts for transfers over X amount or if another account has been added. However, if you target someone who doesn't check their balance or email more than once or twice a week, you can probably get away with it before they know it's happening.
Same here in the UK. With FasterPayments I can transfer money from a NationWide account to a Braclays or a Coop within minutes. My Brother in Law used this recently when his daughter didn't have enough money to buy a train ticket home from uni, she was in the station, called, he transferred the money and she withdrew it from the CashPoint (ATM) a minute later.
The gist of TFA is that since the transfer from the person with the compromised password to the mule is reversed it is the mule that loses out, so the password isn't the bottleneck. (evidently the bottleneck is mule-recruitment and back-end fraud detection). This rather misses the point that it is a potential stopping point. If the account cant transfer money to the mule then the mule can't be persuaded to take commission and send the rest on by Western Union.
Maybe I'm cynical, but it seems to me that this analysis is a big "not my problem" statement by Microsoft. The client-end OS and browser security, which Microsoft has a big share of are not the "real problem" - that lies at mule recruitment and backend fraud detection systems, both areas where Microsoft has little investment.
Create a lot of profiles with your name, with a lot more interesting things than you. John Smith the actor. John Smith the nuclear physicist. John Smith who saved the USA from danger. Just make it up and post it.It has to be crazy enough that people don't know its you. You could pay people to change their name to John Smith and do things to get in the news - like pissing of the balcony at a film Premier, making a life-sized bacon statue of Muhammad, attempting to ascend Everest on a pogo-stick, or descent on a spacehopper. Anonymously start a cult who's members all have to change their name - at which point you can anonymously use your real name. Soon anyone who searches for John Smith will have to go to the 99'th search page to find you.

If something can be done on a small scale, it can be done better on a large scale This is why we have power stations.
... and brothels?
I'm sure he thinks that US workers are also lazy. He probably thinks we talk for three and work for five.
In reality its post on slashdot for three and work for five.
I'm down with an hour for breaks and an hour for lunch, but i don't understand the "talk" for 3 hours. What exactly do they "talk" about for 3 hours?
Growing garlic, drinking wine, eating cheese, and surrendering of course ;-)
i'm french, i'm working around 50 hours a week, and i'm lunching in a quarter.
Are you self employed or breaking the law?

No, you're thinking of the throttle. I'm unable to find mention of any car with a drive-by-wire clutch.
There are some, the Toyota Yaris Semi-auto, Citroens with EGS drive, and a few others.
Turn it to "off" and the engine will lose power.

Its a moot point in the Renault though. The Laguna has an electric parking brake that won't engage at speeds of over 7 mph

Handbrake as well would have worked surely?

The stealth fighter is not really stealthy, we know about it otherwise if it was truely stealth we wouldnt even know it exists.
Then again it can be picked up by weather radar also. Its a huge failure.
Perhaps the current stealth fighters are just cover technology for the real ... wait a minute someone's knocking at the door

And who will you have to replace them?
With corrupt MEPs who listen to me instead of course!
