  A comic book (often shortened to simply comic and sometimes called a funny book, comic paper or comic magazine) is a magazine made up of narrative artwork, often accompanied by dialog (usually in word balloons, emblematic of the comic book artform) and often including brief descriptive prose. The first comic book appeared in the United States of America in 1934, reprinting the earlier newspaper comic strips, which established many of the story-telling devices used in comics.

•  Debit card

  A debit card (also known as a bank card or check card) is a plastic card that provides an alternative payment method to cash when making purchases. Functionally, it can be called an electronic cheque, as the funds are withdrawn directly from either the bank account, or from the remaining balance on the card. In some cases, the cards are designed exclusively for use on the Internet, and so there is no physical card.

•  Hamiltonian (quantum mechanics)

  In quantum mechanics, the Hamiltonian H is the operator corresponding to the total energy of the system. Its spectrum is the set of possible outcomes when one measures the total energy of a system. It is of fundamental importance in most formulations of quantum theory because of its close relation to the time-evolution of a system (see below).

They provided a highly mobile, rapidly deployed force that allowed the colonies to respond immediately to war threats, hence the name.

Generally younger and more mobile, they served as part of a network for early response.

•  Peer-to-peer

  A peer-to-peer, commonly abbreviated to P2P, is any distributed network architecture composed of participants that make a portion of their resources (such as processing power, disk storage or network bandwidth) directly available to other network participants, without the need for central coordination instances (such as servers or stable hosts). Peers are both suppliers and consumers of resources, in contrast to the traditional client-server model where only servers supply, and clients consume.
