That's what the { cache: false } option does; see jQuery 1.3.2 line
3448 onwards:

if ( s.cache === false && type == "GET" ) {
var ts = now();
// try replacing _= if it is there
var ret = s.url.replace(/(\?|&)_=.*?(&|$)/, "$1_=" + ts + "$2");
// if nothing was replaced, add timestamp to the end
s.url = ret + ((ret == s.url) ? (s.url.match(/\?/) ? "&" : "?") +
"_=" + ts : "");
}

Regards,

Nick.
