Re #239: I'm using Gentoo Linux, so my hands are somewhat tied as to
configuration. I don't think it'll do much good, but I had to try this, because
I need to use OO and it's nearly unusable in the -bin package. (This computer
is 350MHz, with either 256 or 512MB of RAM (I can't recall which).)

Huh? The point of Gentoo is to UNTIE your configuration hands.

Any package-based system (except possibly Slackware) has a dependency-checking
system, and if something is listed as a dependency you can't build the package
(in Gentoo) without compiling in support for that dependency. In any other
system self-compiling isn't part of the package system, so you can do anything
you like in the configuration stage.

re #243: It doesn't matter which distribution you're using, if
your package requires libqt, for example, you're not going to be
able to get it to run without that (at least not with a practical
amount of effort -- I'm not talking about re-writing the app here.)
There are certain dependencies you're just not going to be able
to get around.
Gentoo, with its system of make flags for its ebuilds, allows you
at least the option of leaving out much of the optional functionality
of many packages. It also allows you to optimize compilation for
your specific processor and instruction set rather than try to build
a binary that'll run on any i386-compatible architecture. If you
gain any performance benefit from recompiling OO for your own system
it'll likely be from one of these two factors. But I suspect your
results are going to be disappointing, especially if you only have
256MB of memory in your system. Open Office is a CPU and memory pig.

IBB I scraped up my knees rather badly this weekend. Ironic that I was wearing
flat, but it was dark, poor lighting in the parking lot, and can't see the
pot holes. I ruined an expensive pair of panty hose!

there's been a lot of discussion of that subject on m-net in recent months.

These cost me about $15, when you can get pantyhose at wal-mart for less than
$3. But I love this brand!

Yah, good hosiery can be around $15 at like Victoria's Secrets- and much
much less for stuff that has a tendency to run when you look at it
funny. Or you know, try to wear it... ;)

I never get why women wear skirts and hose in the dead of winter anyway, its
like you're wearing shorts when its below freezing

Re 251: That was the question I kept asking the school system when I was
growing up. Dresses/skirts for girls were mandatory, boys had to wear dress
slacks and button shirts. The dress code for public schools wasn't dropped
until the year after I graduated.

resp:251- nu uh. ;) Depends on the length of the skirt too. I've worn
knee length skirts with hose and knee high boots. Wasn't any chillier
than certain type of dress pants. I've also word hosiery with near ankle
length skirts and the hose seemed to act like long-underwear.

Some years ago I dressed in a kilt, with knee-high socks, quite often. I
didn't feel chilled in winter. It was quite warm. There was some joking about
it, however.

There was a case recently where a male high school student, who did not like
wearing pants because he wears a knee brace, took to wearing kilts or skirts
to school. His reasoning was, if girls can wear skirts to school and not
pants, why can't guys? The school suspended him for dress code violation and
the local chapter of the ACLU has taken up his case

re #256 also he asks, if schools legally let girls wear skirts, why can't guys
wear shorts to school? Is it fair that girls can have uncovered legs at
school and guys can't? Is it sexist?
