It uses disqus for the comments, for which I have mixed feelings. I'd
rather not relay on external services for parts of the website.
I think Calvin was advocating the general concept, not the specific
implementation. I'm sure we can find an open-source, locally-hostable
comment system that requires only PHP, HTML4/XHTML1, and
CSS<=2 (and if we can't, I'm sure I'm not the only one here
capable of creating such a system if it turns out to be both useful
and necessary).
