3D File Manager on Linux Wins NSF Prize

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the new-ways-of-looking-at-old-stuff dept.

MadFarmAnimalz writes "Science Magazine's reporting on the results of the NSF's Science and Engineering Visualisation Challenge and the first prize in the Illustrations category has been claimed by the Innolab 3D File Manager, which was developed on linux. Apparently this involves arranging data in a ferris wheel type structure." The data is arranged by its relationship with its content, rather than by its physical position on a hard drive or its file system.

    Why are we, the free software community, busting ass

    Look, just be honest with me - are you or are you not actually involved in the free software community, apart from being a user?

    Please tell me. If you're not (ie. you don't write any code or documentation, but just talk about it, use it, maybe file a few bug reports, and read /.), then can you please, PLEASE stop saying WE!

    'We' implies that YOU are part of it. Are you? If you are, sorry.

    If not, shut the HECK up! It's THEM, not WE!

    Excuse me while I go and explode.
