Sounds like it would be a better idea to get hold of a GFX card with grabbar functions and write some good software for it.
Besides, with digital TV/HDTV you really do want to get the original MPEG2 stream instead of decoding it once, and then encoded again when you record. Any set-top boxers/satellite recievers with firewire out? ^_^
That's the way to go. Fiber cables are more secure for the future and ether works really well. After all the reports about other systems working all but good I thought that building a good net would be the future.
Besides, fiber might rid us of AOL;)
It's the new extensions that makes a difference

GeForce3 and Linux

And since NVidia makes their GFX cards comply with M$ Direct3D, expect it to fare better in Windows, when the added features is used.
So if you don't want those extras, get a GeoForce 2 Ultra card and wait for GeoForce 4 or a company that makes GFX cards directed more towards linux.
The next step is defining sizes in measures other than pixels. MacOS X already does this, giving you the same sized font both on a 800x600 15" display and on a 1600x1200 21" display.

And when you compare resolutions, do remember the dpi. 102 dpi on my 1600x1200 21" for example.

Jpeg 2000 might not be finished as of yet, but I suspect that it will have a good chance of being a standard in the future (just as jpeg/mpeg is today), and even greater, it has support for most about anything you'd want. From lossless to lossy compression and a whole range of other nifty things such as wavelets. Read up on it yourself, and then wonder what format you'd like your browser to support in the future...
PNG is a good thing, and has always been a good thing since it arrived, but I fear that it won't ever be a de facto standard. Sure, I want real transparency (GIF? Does masking at best, it's plain silly) and non LZW, but I won't recode any browsers (especially since I am using IE and can't stand Netrape/Mozilla with it's lack of design) nor will I recode any software packages (few of them seem to be able to save PNGs correctly && be of any use). On top of this, will there be a gateway that translates GIFs into PNGs? Because as far as I know, I can't make everyone use PNG...
Once again, I hope those that has invested in JPEG will make use of it, and thus make it widespread.
We have now seen company after company go down the drain, after promising us one wonder amiga after another. But the question that I am asking myself is, will the Amiga curse spead to Open Source if AOS is open sourced? And what would happen if Micro$oft bought Amiga?
