I recently had the pleasure of working in IIS 5.1 on a project where I had to open a lot of connections to the web server.  Of course, I received the dreaded 403.9 too many users connected error.  After some poking around, @codinghorror presented a solution on his blog from back in 2005 (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2005/06/uncrippling-windows-xps-iis-51.html):

Are you getting 403.9 "Access Forbidden: Too many users are connected" errors on an XP Pro website? You're limited by default to 10 concurrent connections by design, but this can be increased. First, make sure your default windows script host is set to the ...

Because I'm a consultant, I have a number of different websites set up in IIS all at the same time.  I was constantly having to stop and start the various sites because I didn't want to run them all on different ports.  I didn't think I could use any kind of host header filtering in order to run all the sites on the same port at the same time.  Suddenly, it dawned on me... set up some aliases in your hosts file:

127.0.0.1    site1.local

I was writing some jQuery to query the work item collection on our team foundation server through the Work Item Tracking web services. I was having a really hard time tracking down some documentation on how to do something like this. Apparently this isn't supported nor, based on what I just tried, is it a good idea.

The first step in my process was to build a SOAP envelope to send to the team foundation server:

 1:  var soapEnv = "<soapenv:Envelope  xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'> \

 2:    <soapenv:Body> \

 3:    <QueryWorkitems \

 4:    xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/TeamFoundation/2005/06/WorkItemTracking/ClientServices/03/'...

I was working on a project where I needed to select a single cell of a table and get the text out of it using jQuery. I went with a multiclass css selector, like so:

 1:  <td  class="class1 class2">...</td>

Using jQuery, I used $(".class1.class2") which returned an array of objects... so far so good. The jQuery spec indicates that the css selector is supposed to return an array of elements. My read of that was that the array returned should contain objects which have the typical jQuery attributes / methods (.text, .html, .val, ...
