The troll mod may have had to do with the fact that the poster specifically asked to have this paticular solution excluded. I am not saying that it doesn't bear looking at - however, I am saying that it is something along the lines of offtopic.
I prefer the old wooden roller coasters. The artificial elation that accompanies the new ones just can't compete with the real fear that one of the old wooden ones will fall apart while I am riding it.

The future of learning is in information being availible everywhere. This school will prove it.
Hollywood has brainwashed you! Zombies will keep coming! If you sever their limbs they will spring forth and crush your throat!
Nothing stems their tide save burning their ashes and soaking them in Holy Water drawn from Jacobs Well. You can find it on Ebay pretty cheap nowadays.

Our IT problem suffered from this. Then some of the higher ups discovered that our firewall allowed us to enable bittorrent traffic if there was confirmed legal metadata. So now we can Torrent the latest distros and FOSS in peace. I am still working on letting them open up the CCL meta data for music, but that is more of a pipe dream.

Zombies can remain animated independant of if their head is intact or not.
