What is the alternative using not CSS selector in Jquery 1.8.0?
<p>When using Jquery to exclude elements from selection I like to use <b>CSS :not</b> selector because of faster performance <a href="http://jsperf.com/jquery-css3-not-vs-not" rel="nofollow">:not() VS .not()</a> , but from Jquery 1.8.0 it is not working anymore:(
Is there some other alternative to use with same or better performance (except <b>.not()</b> ) in Jquery? THX!!</p>

<p>This works with Jquery 1.7.2

<br/>But NOT with Jquery 1.8.0

<pre><code>$(document).ready(function(){
$("ul li:not(:first)").hide();
});
</code></pre>
