It's unfortunate that they've jumped on the fixed positioning bandwagon. Non-scrolling headers/footers break the way Page Up and Page Down work, because the visible size is no longer the size of the scrollable area.
Luckily there's a user style in the Slashdot comments that changes the fixed elements to absolute positioning. It isn't a perfect solution, though (e.g. for when you use an alternate browser).

It also seems to break their "Parent" links -- it ends up with the top bar partially covering the comment's header. I've yet to encounter a web site where floating title bar is a good idea.
