The Golden Helmet. The Golden Helmet is a 32-page funny animal comic book adventure story written, drawn, and lettered by Carl Barks. The story was first published in Four Color #408 (July 1952) with a cover by Barks and three Barks gag stories starring the Ducks: "Full-Service Windows", "Rigged-Up Lawn Roller", and "Awash in Success". The Golden Helmet, the cover, and the gag stories have been reprinted many times. Donald Duck and his nephews hunt for a Viking helmet that gives the possessor legal claim to North America. Plot[edit] Donald is seen working as a guard in the Duckburg Museum (as also in "Lost in the Andes!
"), but he finds his duties unsatisfying. The relics of the glorious past in the halls of the museum are all but forgotten, as the crowds are more interested in the butterfly, lace and tatting collections. Donald's wish is soon answered when he becomes involved in a relic hunt of great importance.

, I don’t often use the in-flight entertainment systems on planes. I’m not sure I want to watch Avatar on a nine-inch screen — or on any screen, come to think of it. In fact I think it would be better if, a week before the flight, your airline just sent you a £10 Amazon voucher along with a few book recommendations. In a way, the best improvement to in-flight entertainment has been the BBC’s and Sky’s creation of desktop software which means you can download television programmes to a PC. This means that, before your trip, you can download many hours of television to your laptop and then watch it at leisure while you’re abroad. However, as with the digital age, the cost to established businesses was high. World Internet Usage Statistics News and World Population Stats.
MMXI – Celebrating 100 years of McLuhan – Marshall McLuhan. Les Horribles Cernettes. This picture of Les Horribles Cernettes was the first photographic image of a band to be published on the World Wide Web in 1992. From left to right: Angela Higney, Michele de Gennaro, Colette Marx-Neilsen, Lynn Veronneau. Les Horribles Cernettes (French pronunciation: [lezɔʁiblə sɛːʁˈnɛt], "The Horrible CERN Girls") was an all-female parody pop group, self-labelled "the one and only High Energy Rock Band", founded by employees of CERN which performed at CERN and other HEP related events.
Their musical style is often described as doo-wop. The initials of their name, LHC, are the same as those of the Large Hadron Collider which was later built at CERN.[1][2][3] Their humorous songs are freely available on their website. History[edit] Les Horribles Cernettes was founded in 1990 by Michele de Gennaro, a graphic designer at CERN, whose romantic relationship with a physicist was made difficult by his numerous shifts. Silvano had taken the picture above on July 18, 1992.[9] Titles[edit]
The history of chat: Part 1 | I’m not obsolete yet! Hey good buddy, did you know that CB radio, or citizens’ band radio, is the great-grandfather to synchronous conferencing, also known as online chatting. In the 70’s you couldn’t get away from CB radios, they were everywhere from the trucker’s cab to mom’s trying to keep tabs on their kids. They took cruising in the 80’s to a whole new level where you could not only drive around all night on 60 cent a gallon gas, but you could chat any other car on the strip without actually seeing who you were chatting with.
The first online dating? Could be. But at least it was voice and you knew that the person on the other end was the right gender. In 1980, CompuServe executive Alexander Trevor unveiled to the public the CompuServe CB Simulator. A few years after CompuServe launched its groundbreaking program, PlayNet integrated chatting into one if its most popular online games—chess.
During the summer of 1988, Jarkko Oikarinen developed Internet Relay Chat (IRC) at Finland’s University of Oulu.
