- Day 1 : close the road between the Mozilla Summit and the airport
- Day 2 : kill the power transformer for the hotel so the mozillians are disconnected from the Internet after a few hours (hey, who knows, these mad coders could improve Firefox remotely...)
- Day 3 : close the alternate longer road between the Mozilla Summit and the airport
- Day 4 : kill the water supply ; they'll have enough to drink but not for a shower, food supplies will decrease at fast pace too...
- Day 12 : let the last cannibal survivor (I bet on Tristan) leave Whistler under
US ArmyRoyal Canadian Mounted Police and CDC supervision - Day 13 : intern him forever in a medical facility
- Day 14 : release IE8
Cannot-stop-laughing !!!!
Update : and the safes in the hotel rooms are locked because of the power outage !!! Please, please, I laugh so much my stomach hurts !!!

I just knew that eventually they'd trot out Plan B.
I blame Opera, actually. Microsoft's just too big, with too many layers of bureaucracy (the lawyers!!) to pull this one off.
Hopefully next time they choose a less isolated location. Perhaps someplace with better security... and more than one road.
Actually, the hotel's wireless system and the core of their Internet access was connected to the backup power system, so we had Internet access the whole time (although not wired). We didn't have any lights in our rooms, though.
The power is back now, though.
