Yeah, you only pay to leave Nuevo Jersé.

Yeah but as a "reward" you end in in Philly.

When Office 2013 installs as 32-bit. The autorun defaults to 32, you have to open the folder and select 64 manually. I usually don't remember this until later when I want to use companion product installers that I only have in 64.

[the wicked child]

You would think it would default to 64bit if possible.

[dodint]

Yeah, I'm surprised it doesn't just check the environment and choose the highest level. I'd say allow us to choose, but they love the super smooth install and want to make you have a few interactions with it as possible.

Internet Explorer 64 is opt-in as well. You have to want to use it. Must be an MS thing.

In group training this week.

-people that keep talking over the facilitator

-people that relay pointless **** anecdotes from their personal experience to the group over and over again

-people that won't just shut the **** up and let the facilitator do their job

Yes. If I am eating or drinking while wearing a tie I'll tuck it into my shirt military style.

Bottom line: If the context has to do with courage, trooper is appropriate. If the context has to do with cooperation, dependability, and the show business attitude of “the show must go on,” then trouper is the word to use.

I once taught a seventh grade class that included a girl suffering from leukemia. She attended school when she could. When she couldn’t, she still did her homework and sent it in. The day I learned that she’d died, I found her last assignment in my mailbox. That little girl was both a trooper and a trouper.

DAMN IT DODINT!!!

[slappybrown]

If you're using it to convey bravery like in your example, trooper is the correct choice. Trouper is better used to reflect someone who supports you dependably as part of a team or unit.
