When I can do it humorously, or if their mistake apparently alters the meaning of the sentence they've written (e.g., "loose" when it should be "lose").
I don't correct others unless I know them, and know that they'll appreciate it. Otherwise it just starts a discussion i don't have time for (but yes, I've time to comment; ahem).

How often do you correct someone else's grammar/spelling on the Internet?

Only when that "someone" is being a total dick.
My spelling / grammar / usage are not always perfect, but I attempt to get my point across. I'm not perfect, and know that others aren't, as well.
Mas cerveza por favor.
