Virtual drive in Ubuntu

You do not need a virtual "drive". ISOs are supported directly by the Linux kernel itself. Google Search Result.

Create your own channel in IRC


You can easily become the operator of your own IRC channel. You can create your own channel by typing /join #channel-name where the channel name doesn't already exist on that network, as in:
/join funfunfun
When you create a channel, you are automatically made the operator of the channel. You can then invite friends across theInternet to join the channel, or wait and see if others join of their own accord.
When you create a channel, you should use the /topic command to specify a one sentence description of the channel's topic. This topic will be displayed to anybody executing a /list command, and may be your best chance to get people to investigate the channel.
/topic #quantum This channel is about einstein
If you need to sign off the channel, or wish to give up operator status, you can assign operator status to someone else with the/op command. You can make more than one person an operator if you want:
/op ivan
/op pierre
/op jane
The /mode command lets you designate a channel that you have created to be secret or private.
/mode #mychannel +s
/mode #mychannel +p
As an operator, you can kick people off.
/kick stupidperson

Black box vs. White box testing


Black box testing
  • takes an external perspective of the test object to derive test cases. These tests can be functional or non-functional, though usually functional. The test designer selects valid and invalid input and determines the correct output. There is no knowledge of the test object's internal structure.
White box testing
  • uses an internal perspective of the system to design test cases based on internal structure. It requires programming skills to identify all paths through the software. The tester chooses test case inputs to exercise paths through the code and determines the appropriate outputs. In electrical hardware testing, every node in a circuit may be probed and measured; an example is in-circuit testing (ICT).
