If you use a plugin like Stylish (available for Chrome & Firefox) you can add a stylesheet for slashdot.org with the following rule:
article#firehose-000 {
display: none;
}
This will collapse the element containing the videos. I've also heard of people using their Adblock plugins to do the same thing by telling it to treat that element as an ad and collapse it.
An (untested) rule to hide the polls would be:
article.fhitem-poll {
display: none;
}
