Is there a non-broken archive of Space Voyage anywhere?

Game, tv show, or movie? Just looking up Space Voyage is getting me a lot of NASA stuff.

What was the last graphics card to come with 1 GB of VRAM? I watched this video testing a HD 7770 (one of the last, but not the last to have 1 GB), and it said that the R7 260X is likely the newest 1 GB GPU. Why I want to know is that I own one of those, which is interesting, since that would make me an owner of an end-of-an-era GPU, quite literally the last of its kind.

I think things segmented into on-board video for running any old games vs super-beast cards if you want to run the latest top-end games. That didn't leave much need for a middle. Why would you be shelling out for a budget video card when the onboard video already runs many games at a perfectly acceptable level? There might still be a market segment for sub-1GB video cards if every PC didn't already have onboard video.

Do any ecosystems entirely depend on mosquitoes? If no, why don't we try to eliminate mosquitoes entirely somehow (maybe cryo-freezing some DNA just in case)? Lots of poor tropical countries suffer from malaria...

Eradication of mosquitos would tank many bird and frog populations.

It's not the climate alone that causes a country to suffer from malaria. Malaria was only eradicated in Europe and North America relatively recently, through enormous effort over many decades.

Could purple also be called reddish blue/bluish red?
Could orange be yellowish red/reddish yellow?

Well, considering how the devices we're reading this on render the color yellow, it's reddish-green. Purple would indeed be reddish-blue. Orange though, I guess would be reddish-yellow.

Now, if we're talking printing colors - yellow and magenta are primary.

the real colors are cyan, yellow, magenta, and black. All other colors are just pretenders to the throne.
