Anyone can yak about health matters. When your health is at risk, though, there's no use in going anywhere but to a medical professional. That means a licensed physician.
I think about 500 people came up with that at about the same time. It's funny but it's not that clever. Do you work in the amazon.com patent department?
I was also finishing up a project for a VLSI course. Our chips had come back from the foundry, and it was now time to test them. The prof. brought some logic analyzers in to the lab, and we had some Altera eval. boards we could use to produce whatever signals we needed. Better than 90% of the students had no idea how to use a logic analyzer, and no instruction was provided.
OK, so any self-sufficient individual with half a brain, in that situation, takes 5 minutes and teaches themselves how to use a logic analyzer and then continues with the project.
Really, I have to question your assessment of your school as "top" if this didn't occur to your peers. Maybe you just had an intellectually lazier class?
I am of the school, "if it's out there and it's generic enough, it's OK to use it."
Actually I used to be worse than that, I used to link to the actual image I wanted to use rather than do the considerably more decent thing which would be to download it and host it on my own server.
I got my comeuppance one day when someone pointed out that a prominent image on my home page had been replaced with an image of somebody's middle finger which superimposed text reading:

There is a flaw in your logic. For example, I am a world-renowned freelance typewriter repairman/bottled milk deliveryperson. I freelance because I was long ago laid off by each of my companies and have not been able to find a job in 22 years.
Unfortunately, most profilers won't tell you that a certain code path only consumes a lot of time when variables a,b,x,y and z are set to 6.3, 5.7, 4.118, 2.05 and "albatross".

Jesus, who narc'ed on you? Was Mikey Eisner Jr. on board?
No offence, but what makes you an authority on advice sources?
We recently covered your condition in our section on pathologies of the lower gastrointestinal tract.
The literature refers to the disorder as viscera felis, literally "pussy gut".
Unless you forgot to disable call waiting or better yet your mom picked up the phone and started competing for carrier.

I like the way your joke was self-referencing, much like something out of a stupid man's Godel Escher Bach.
It is a not-so-accidental abbreviation of "cute little thumb mouse".

Suffice to say I host all my own images now.This is simply part of the iTunes 4.0.1 "Stream Different" campaign.
