While doing a little research last night on QNX, I stumbled across Google's AJAX Library API on Google Code. Interestingly enough, Google's AJAX API hosts a cached, compressed copy of Prototype and other JS libraries on its high-speed content distribution network. Supposedly, instead of sourcing a JavaScript library locally on your server, you can use Google's cached copy. Most notably, change.gov appears to be taking this approach with JQuery.
Instead of:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://my.server.com/jquery.min.js"></script>
Try:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js"></script>
Too bad Google doesn't host the packed version, though.

Did you find this post helpful, or at least, interesting?
