If I have to read slashdot every day for the next few years I would absolutely implore that something like Jason's is taken on as opposed to the other entries. The dark green on black with stark white backgrounds puts more emphasis on the text as it is the only black. A lot of these designs are looking awful confusing and are just plain not as easy to read as slashdot currently is. A technique that would improve Jason's design further would be to have a collapsable right hand side bar that would use javascript to hide it and free up space for smaller displays and lower resolutions. Great work Jason you are far and away my fave so far.
