With gems like that, one can't help but deduce that, if anonymous employee IS a Stanford grad, Stanford is the best CS department in the world. I mean, they seem to have invented the zero-latency, infinite bandwidth internet, where all network operations are CPU bound!
The average Stanford Kid is about the same as the average MIT kid is about the same as the average CMU kid. The most brilliant Ohio State kid is likely about as smart as the most brilliant MIT kid.

The other candidates were going around saying where they were from, many were from Stanford, and when it came to him they basically snubbed him afterwards. That said in programming competitions we've beaten schools like UIUC.
