Submission + - OpenShot Video Editor Achieves $35k on Kickstarter, Final Goal in Reach! (kickstarter.com) 5

JonOomph writes: The popular open source video editor, OpenShot, has less than 39 hours remaining on popular crowd-funding site, Kickstarter.com. The lead developer, Jonathan Thomas, has proposed a revolutionary new feature, which would allow users to offload CPU, memory, and disk cache to a local server (or multiple local servers), dramatically increasing the speed of previewing and rendering. The more servers added to the pool, the faster the video editing engine becomes (with the primary limitation being network bandwidth). If the final goal of $40k is reached in the remaining hours, this feature will be added to the next version of OpenShot.

A study I completed recently found that a staggering 100% of criminals start out as non-criminals. If we can get non-criminal's DNA in the data bank, our chances of apprehending criminals will rise dramatically.

This doesn't come as a surprise to me. I remember reading a similar study some years ago, only then it was people's work desk that was compared to toilets with respect to number of bacteria.

Although these numbers may be somewhat surprising, I really don't buy the whole 'OMG your desk/keyboard has tons of bacteria and you touch it all the time without washing!!' thing. Obviously it doesn't make you sick, so what's wrong?! I bet being exposed to all these bacteria actually keeps your immune system sharp.
