    I only just finished reading The Long Mars a couple of weeks ago - I wonder whether Stephen Baxter will continue solo with the final book (as number 4 is due out later this year[1]…

    He could have done just that, but the police would have held on to it until they'd finished their investigation and the court case was over. I suppose it's a question of waiting or…

    Nice to see this kind of report, even if the conclusion is rather damning. And it seems to suggest that using it with (something like) Dropbox is a bad idea too: > EncFS is not saf…
