No more furry business. I suggest you curtail it. As if there's a Snowball chance in hell.

Scratching my head; the idea gave me paws.
On the face of it, it seems purrfectly ridiculous.
But that depends a lot upon how I'm feline at the moment.

Where's the CCC? Are you posting it tomorrow instead, or does this need another reboot?

The Shadowserver Foundation
If you are looking at this page, then more than likely, you noticed a scan coming from this server across your network and/or poking at a service that you have running. The Shadowserver Foundation is currently undertaking a project to search for publicly accessible devices that have services running that should not be exposed because they are trivial to exploit or abuse. The goal of this project is to identify hosts that have these types of services exposed and report them back to the network owners for remediation.
That's interesting (or not.)
What amazes me is how quickly this came in. I've had a test server up since only 4 PM EST yesterday. My logs show the scan occurred at 6:40 AM EST.

It looks like the Clay Institute were one short when they set their list of challenges, so I've prepared a revised version:
Yang–Mills and Mass Gap - Prove whether the quantum mass-gappy thing is really mass-gappy.
Riemann Hypothesis - Work out some s**t about zeta-wotsits and win five pounds.
P vs NP Problem - Put CS graduates out of their misery and save them from debating this stuff on Stack Exchange all day.
Navier–Stokes Equation - Prove or disprove stuff about provability.
Hodge Conjecture - Something to do with Tales From Topographical Oceans or related prog-rock atrocities, as far as I can tell. It's a little bit over my head.
Poincaré Conjecture - Geometrically prove that la singe est dans les arbres armed only with a set-square and a piece of string.
Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture - Find elliptical ways to think about Cubism.
The Adams Conjecture - There is no computational task, whether or not it has ever been achieved or ever will be, that is harder than that of calculating the price of a Biztalk Server license.

You call those challenges?
These are challenges!
WARNING: Not for the feint of heart.
Tangled cable problem - Why is it that, even when you put them away carefully and organized, when you pick up some cables they are always tangled?
The take-her-out-for-food dilemma - Find out what a woman wants to eat when she says she doesn't care where you're going.
BMW turn gamble - Correctly identify the turn a BMW driver is going to take (we all know the turn signal isn't going to work on this one).
What-the-customer-really-wants equation - The customer will give you specs for feature A, but we all know what he really wants is B. Find B in the equation.

So? You've just replaced the take-her-out-for-food dilemma with a whole new set:
The where-shall-we-spend-the-holidays dilemma - her parents' or your parents' house
The why-don't-you-take-me-anywhere dilemma - kids, work, etc. are not excuses
And, worst of all, the dreaded do-you-think-I'm-fat dilemma - whatever you answer, you'll be sleeping on the couch for the next week 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Over a decade solved some of these...
Holidays - at home
Going out - weekly, Friday morning when kids are at school, or late Thursday (we need no babysitter anymore)
Fat - to be solved in the next 200 years (an optimistic approximation only)

Concerning the do-you-think-I'm-fat dilemma, a group of friends and I believe to have found the most satisfactory solution. It may very well be also applicable to other questions of that sort or general situations where you could say something wrong:
You need to collect your inner center, lower your arms so they are loose on your sides, take a deep breath and then scream 'YOU ARE BEATIFUL!' at the top of your lungs. Please note that the best results with this method can be achieved if there is an honest tone of panic and desperation in your voice.
YMMV of course as this was only tested and evaluated in german 'DU BIST WUNDERSCHÖN!'.
Please note that we have found this to lighten the mood in almost any situation so far.

I've always liked the Simpsons approach to dilemmas in life. For this specific case Homer would say:
"I am not gonna lie to you" followed by complete silence.

Wrong interpretation...
While before marriage the girl will play the modest and let you lead the way, after it she has no problem not only to tell you what she wants to eat and where, but do the same for you also!!!

Jörgen Andersson wrote: pointless job description ever: BMW turn indicator assembler
But well paid, costs a fortune to replace a turn indicator on a BMW, hence they really should be used sparingly.
On a similar note, why is it always idiots in black cars that most often forget to turn on their lights at night?

Because they are all drunk.
Aside: I have a black car, and never forget the lights - they are permanently on "Auto" so they remember themselves ... (and I hardly ever drink)

The key to not having to replace it so often is to properly maintain it. The first and most important thing to do is to check the blinker fluid.

Your description of TfTO as an atrocity tells me that prog-rock may also be a little bit over your head.  Sure, Wakeman agrees, but he's a silly git.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I'm actually quite partial to a bit of prog, early Genesis and Floyd in particular but I never really got on with Yes.
Rick Wakeman, on the other hand, has always struck me as being a top bloke!
