I still don't quite know what I should think of this:

in the top of the page. I just wonder why. The
site isn't as comment-heavy as Slashdot, Heise or other
large IT sites so the benefit of seeing the latest comments (well, the ones that
are at most 15 minutes old) isn't really that great and besides, that could be
done without forcing the user into something he wouldn't need to do (Hint: there
is this wonderfully hyped Web 2.0 thing called AJAX).
And the second part of the commenting hint is just downright ridiculous.
Something on their side is seriously broken if they need that kind of hint.
After digging a bit in the source code of that page it turns out that their
comment-system is entirely Javascript, at least the validation part. The form
points into void and the only thing that will submit something is probably the
JS function AddComments() that is called on
submit on that form. However, I lacked the motivation to actually look through
that, given that I know nearly no Javascript.
