If you are planning on a career in academe, then you will find that having an undergraduate degree from a Top Ten Computer Science programme will give you an advantage over those with degrees from less prestigious schools when applying to graduate programmes. Which will then give you an edge when looking for a professorship.
If you are looking for a career in industry, a degree from Stanford is not going to help you much more than a degree from Upper Podunk, or any four-year school. Unless, of course, the person doing the hiring also went to Stanford. As other posters have pointed out, interviewing well and having actual experience tends to be more important.
Granted, there are companies like Google, where a degree from a top school probably carries a lot more weight, but that is largely because of the fierce competition for Google jobs.

It is 56K, which takes about 12 seconds to load on a DoCoMo FOMA phone in Tokyo. YMMV.
Back up now, thanks to some Apache tweaking.

As does Japanese, but this will fail to surprise anyone who knows that Japanese and Korean grammar is very, very similar.
