Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

Yes. I would have at least a few weeks of work ahead of me if I wanted to annoy my wife. Getting married would be one of them.

Getting married to someone would definitely annoy your wife

Presuming I ever would have been dumb enough to get married before.

Well you mentioned your wife and then about getting married, so I assumed you'd been captured already

Avoiding this is remarkably easy. I will never understand why only so few actually make it, nor why the ones who accidentally are successful often are so unhappy.

Just make your own universe. Write some code to generate solar systems with planets, one or more stars, asteroids and all other details you want. Then use a 3D coordinate system with 32 bit integers to map the systems into your galayy. You can use a grayscale pixel template of a spiral galaxy to model the shape and star density. If your values are right, you should end up with a few hundred billion star systems. My 'universe' has a 64 bit index for its galaxies and each galaxy can be accessed, so that there probably are a few more galaxies in my map than in the real universe. last, just for fun, there also is a 64 bit index for universes. I doubt a player will ever be able to map a single galaxy, much less one or more universes.
That's how big universes are, unless you look onto my harddisk. There the whole thing is smaller than a megabyte-

Has he? Then it was good that I used a 64 bit index for universes as well. That should give even Chuck enough to do for a while.

Odd thing - I zoomed inwards and came across an item marked "Classical Electron" - which was very large compared to neutron, proton, etc. I had always been taught that electrons are really really little buggers - even compared to other really really tiny little buggers[^].
However, in exploring this, I came across the concept of Cherenkov radiation - so I'll pursue that.

You were taught wrong, I suspect: Classical electron radius - Wikipedia[^]
Modern thinking is that an electron is a "point particle"[^] and as such has no size at all!

I'm not quite sure what they are trying to convey there, as electrons are 1/1836 of the mass of a proton.

Through some more wikiing (never typed that out before...), it seems the "classical electron radius' is something that was calculated based on some likely incorrect assumptions and thus, is not very accurate.[^]
Also, calculating the radius of a non-exact particle is dumb.

Inspired by The Lounge[^] I realize that one of the more peculiar aspects of Q&A is when the type in what they tried - and since it's often nothing - rather than leave it blank they just repeat the question.
So perhaps, the default scenario for Q&A:
Q: What have you tried so far?
A: "Joining Code Project and posting the question."

Ahhh - you left off the most important part: it was re-posted with a slightly longer title.
You have to hand it to these folk - they have a very unique type of finesse.

Not that it would be important, but the only valid answer would be:
Don't do any data access in the front end.

Yes,
Or something even less challenging like a complete redirect upon mouse focus and keyboard typing of the same first five words of the "above", or an attempted paste of anything, to the "Who' Who" page (the secret one where there's a valid search-for-user-by-id control that returns actual names) ...
