He did a Bas (LOL) and got a credit for "computer studies".

Ok come on Brian. That was actually quite funny. Lighten up dude it’s Christmas.

Then you would be foolish, System Engineers like all professional people tend to specialise in particular technologies. I specialise in Unix and Linux with a smattering of Windoze thrown in. Give me a system which is malfunctioning and I will fix it so that it works properly. However, I admit I know very little about databases. I am not a DBA nor have I ever claimed to be one. Unlike Neferti, I know a lot about hardware and software and the interactions between the two. I can script and at a pinch,
I can program. I know all about security and firewalls.

dear Brian,
do you think you could stop boasting especially when this an anonymous forum?

I could say that I had a PhD in computer studies and how could you disprove me?

People can boast with any bullshit here - it doesn't impress me.
You lack a Knight's humility.

Bobby, I am not boasting, I am stating facts.

You can lie as much as you desire, I tell the truth.

Who cares? Knights no longer exist in Australia. They have no special privilege.

You are some sort of computer engineer, Briney? Oh, good.

Got a technical question for you.

Here is my drone, and I need to put a Pixhawk autopilot in it. But the instructions tell me I must use a 0.5 amp USB port on my computer to download the firmware. How do I tell which USB port is a 0.5 amp port?

They all are.

In IT, if I want to understand how TCP/IP works, I consult a university trained Systems Engineer. If I want TCP/IP to work, I consult a TAFE trained Systems Administrator. He can connect up the devices and get them to talk to one another but is at a loss when that doesn't work, whereas the Systems Engineer can figure out the reasons why it isn't working.

If you are a professional IT Systems Engineer why do you need to consult anyone?

You forgot to add your own response/contribution ...
