The old Slashdot design bothered me so much I proposed a minimalist layout last year: http://nylira.com/p/slashdot http://nylira.com/p/slashdot
Thoughts on this one:
Slashdot's homepage is much cleaner than before, but the thick green bars denoting each story is visually oppressive. I understand that it's a branding element, but it hampers readability.
The fixed navigation annoys me, but that's a personal preference: I don't think the menus are important enough to be constantly on-screen.
I see they still haven't added a max-width to text columns either. It's difficult reading comments on a 1440px+ screen.
