CSS Sprites are Stupid – Let's Use Archives Instead!

apparently in firefox you can address images (and files in general) inside a .jar archive (renamed .zip-file) like this: jar:test.jar!/img1.png.
So you can compress you images, css and js files inside a single file (thus requiring only a single connection to the server an compressing the data in one turn).
neat!
