Short Circuit writes "Secunia has issued a security advisory for Mozilla and Firefox. Apparently, remote web sites can spoof the user interface using XUL. (See the Firefox proof of concept.) Of course, that won't stop me from using Firefox."

    (I sound like a broken record. I know that. But if it gets said enough times perhaps someone will notice and change something.)

    Either that, or the butt ugly colors will give you god-like mod points.

    Ok guys, run with it for a while and see if someone notices. I imagine enough threads with this modded up the better chance of this color scheme going away.
    the evil color scheme starts with http://it.slashdot.org...blah. just pull off the 'it.' and the color scheme switches back to normal.
    Here, a nice copy-and-paste template, just populate it with the edited link like so:

    Fix the Colors!

    Mod me up if you hate the color scheme. Here's a fixed link using the "old" slashdot colors:

    <a href=""></a>

    that's it. Good luck!

    (P.S. This is not for Karma. It's already excellent. I could care less. I would like to stop flinching when I bring up a page, however.)
