Google has quietly started offering Google Cloud CDN service, a new content-delivery network (CDN) that should appeal to independent developers who want their applications to load quickly.
For its "alpha" release, Google is now accepting applications from people who want to try the new service, which is limited in geographical availability. More locations will be added when the service becomes generally available.
"Google Cloud CDN (Content Delivery Network) uses Google's globally distributed edge caches to cache HTTP(S) Load Balanced content close to your users," the product description states. "Caching content at the edges of Google's network provides faster delivery of content to your users while reducing the load on your servers."

Sure, you can block the domains but then 90% of your websites won't work (currently, most websites already use JQuery from some google server).
Maybe you could change your hosts file or local DNS to point to a machine that locally hosts JQuery.

You don't really know how hosts files work, do you?

I think he meant that you have a local JQuery host you trust, then point your dns/host files to that for jquery.com, not that he change the hosts file on the server. This would work something like surrogates in NoScript.
