TGV has gone faster than that already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8skXT5NQzCg I also believe the old Shinkansen has topped 400kph previously.

Make Apple, er, America Great Again: iGiant to bring home profits, pay $38bn in repatriation tax

I believe one other consequence of this is that Apple and other US companies will be given an incentive to pay taxes on revenue generated overseas as they will no longer be expected to pay US taxes on that taxed overseas revenue. So in the future Apple will probably declare more taxes in places like Ireland, and as they will get a credit on what the EU claimed that they owed Ireland they may go ahead and pay it as it at 12.5% represents less than what they'd have had to to the US on the same revenue and that revenue would no longer be liable for US taxes.

How was there no sort by subject field?

Sitaram Chamarty - "Really, at the risk of repeating myself, LN didn't have "sort by subject line" till about 2004 or so -- now come on that's a deep scar, admit it."

It has been a number of years since I've used Notes in a work environment but you could have a view in Notes that was sorted by column on any field in any form. Notes allows you to create any types of view you want and to sort sort accordingly. Is it the fact that it wasn't default view is the problem?

Err...isn't this kinda close to us?

I mean I'm not expert but a few hundred light years is quite close astronomically speaking and it is possible for the radiological effects of a supernova to be felt over quite long distances.
