I have worked in a field related to security (more like crypto), and it is also a problem when HR's are first to filter out job applicants. A woman acquaintance of mine had such a job interview, which ended with her and the HR woman subtly bitchslapping each other about their dressing styles. No security talk whatsoever!
It is as if the companies expect a security guru to have, before all, a nice personality (I know very few such people, realistically speaking).
At my university, grad students only get wooden chairs, and I've not heard of any back problems yet. They're like these old chairs our grade school teachers had behind their desks...
It's annoying because the second site (I want the first one) is very slow to load, even with a fast connection, and stopping the download freezes my entire workstation for a few seconds... Grrr.
The deterioration of bones is due to lack of gravity, because your sckeleton needs not support all of your weight anymore. It's a problem in deep space, but it would not be so on Mars, or at least not to the same extent. Mars does have a gravity lesser than Earth, but it's still comparable to it.

The 2D animal digestive system thingny, and other dimensional fun, are also in the last chapter(s) of Stephen Hawking's Brief History of Time.
A book that's very readable too, say with high school physics completed.

I always get www.restaurant.ca confused with www.restaurants.ca.
