I don't know about about QNX, but I know that WindRiver's VxWorks can do this. You can also upgrade a running application without shutting down the (embedded) equipment.
Reading a topic in threaded mode makes more hits than using flat or nested mode which download the whole lot in one "hit".
Here in the UK (and I am sure other places) the telecom charging regime discourages multiple frequent page hits. There is a minimum charge for each connection, so it pays to connect infrequently and download as much as possible during each connection. I will often download a topic and take a few hours to read the comments (not continuously).
If nested mode was changed like that, how would it be different from threaded mode?
I like nested mode, as it is, as it combines the best of both threaded and flat modes. Like flat mode, you get the whole subject in one page (which for those of us who have metered 'phone calls with a minimum call charge is very desirable) and it allows you to see the relationship between comments (ie the parent child relationship)
I think you will find that when this new moderation was announced that Rob said that all of his posts start with a score of 2, as ours start at 1, and AC start at 0.
Seriously, though, NT does ship with Internet Information Server, which lets you run HTTP and FTP services out of the box. More or less. But that sure as hell doesn't justify the price tag involved.
The use of P-code is nothing new. It was the basis of the UCSD Pascal, which I belive was one of the options on the original IBM PC. Though how similar this is to the P-code which MS use, I do not know.
Trademarks are good, but only within the area of trade of the owner.
Thus I would expect McDonalds the fast food chain to legitimately complain about a site www.mcdonalds.com which provides recipes for hamburgers. But I think they should have no complaint about a site www.mcdonalds.com which provides details on the history of the Scottish McDonald clan.
In other words, for there to be a trademark infringement, I think there not only has to be a name clash but also a clash in subject matter.

Railroad tycoon was one of the few games which I have ever purchased. A port of this to Linux would be great.
Will the reading method affect the "hit count"?

That is NT Server not workstation.
Thatis not fair as CDs cost more than vinyl & tapes.
