The color schemes for Apple, Games, IT, Linux, Politics, & YRO have poor color contrast on:
1) article titles against background
2) link section text against onmouseover background
3) numerous other elements
Screenshot attached: SlashdotCSScolorError20070914.jpg
Tested on Firefox 2.0.0.6 and IE6
Example: Politics
The CSS rules of show article titles as DarkBlue on Blue background. Links section as DarkBlue on DarkBlue.
Specifically:

Line 24 Calculates to:----
color: rgb(6, 27, 70) as !important
Negation of the override directive on this CSS rule appears to correct the issue returning all affected text to white. The offending CSS is contained within comment: //firehose related css begin/end

Wes, I believe I fixed this for the index pages. If you could take a look at the colors for firehose that would much appreciated.

apple.slashdot.org appears to still need the #firehose inclusion

All others are corrected.
