Especially true if you're the one stuck with the duty of making them look good. I saw this at Siggraph and was not only impressed with the look but the number of people packed into the booth to see it demoed, competing side by side with real time 3D game renders and high-end effects software."

I totally agree. Just a little tip that someone mentioned a while ago that I'm using until slashdot stops their excessive crack smoking... change the first part of any slashot url to one that you like the colors of.

For example, this one is of the form it.slashdot.org. But if you change just the "it" part to, say "linux" (yielding something like linux.slashdot.org) the color scheme changes to that of the linux section, but keeps the same content of the article you're reading.

AFAIK, this works for all sub-sections.
