I chose a bunch of boxes for the sidebars, and didn't choose any topics to ignore. When I went to the slashdot page I got - nothing! THat is, I saw the banner ad and the slashdot + topics bar, but below that was an expanse of blackness. I was only able to get to this article again after unchecking all sidebars in preferences, and then got no sidebars at all, rather than the default.
