Dear Brot Gnarfstroll,

In case you can’t tell, this is a grown-up place. The
fact that you insist on using your ridiculous handle
clearly shows that you’re too young and too stupid
to have the frist comment.

Go away and grow up.

Sexchanging a shirt means moving the buttons from the right side to the left side or vice-versa, and the buttonholes the other way.

I think it's in Sri Lanka Rupees, which makes it ~$8.90 in USD.

I have encountered species of shirt whose differentiation into male/female occurs significantly later into its gestation, in which there are buttonholes on each side (although they are rudimentary, unopened ones on the same side as where the buttons have developed). This should make application of the gender change request significantly more streamlined, as there would then be no need to add the stitching round the new buttonholes.

I don't really see a problem with the magic number error. Presumably it's talking about a checksum that doesn't match suggesting the installer is corrupt. So it suggests the very sensible action of getting another copy of the installer.

Nonsense. He just scheduled (and paid in advance for) the shirt's gender reassignment surgery. These things are complicated and take lots of lead time.

Yeah, because I've never run a Windows program that has shut down without an error message.

TRWTF is when Explorer crashes for no apparent reason.

TRWTF is that anyone anywhere dares to use Windows on any computer.
