I guess I'm ignorant because apparently how many companies a school produces is the real measurement of a school's contributions to CS. Throw yahoo's name in the mix too while you're at it. Here are just some things developed *at* berkeley after "googling" and ending up at wikipedia: * Tcl, still one of the most popular interpreters to embed into C/C++ code. * Postgres, the best opensource DB. Don't even try to bring mysql into the discussion. * GTK, probably the most popular toolkit for X apps * Gimp * Spice * raid * risc * BIND (which probably 100% of the servers connected to the internet use) * BSD...no need to explain this one. I highly doubt you are a Berkeley CS alum. If you *are* a berkeley CS alum, the CS must have stood for Cognitive Science. Google has a lot to do with stanford huh?

Try googling the major CS developments of the last 20 years (like "googling" and all it really entails for that matter:) ) And I'm writing this as a UC Berkeley CS alum! Hey Ahmad,

Look up Berkeley's contributions to computer science. I’m pretty sure Stanford doesn’t even have the best CS department in the bay area, let alone the world.

Look up Berkeley’s contributions to computer science.
