That would not change the mass, something flying through this cloud would still be slowed down.
But I think these tiny molecules would quickly be pushed away by radiation pressure and maybe by whatever other part of the solar wind that makes it through earths magnetic field. UV radiation also ionizes, then you have charged molecules/atoms which allows one more force to interact with them. Oh, and the boiling process would of course accelerate the particles in the first place, so a triple no-go!
Hot or cold depends on how fast it went, more specifically was it supersonic when it hit or - if not - for how long has it gone slower than sound.
When something goes supersonic it gets worse and worse at transferring heat to the air molecules, which is a big problem for supersonic craft such as the SR-71 Blackbird - one reason is black is to maximize heat transfer by radiation.
Meteorites which are ice cold when they hit were slowed down below ~330m/s high in the atmosphere and thus cooled down, the hot ones are the fast ones.
I'd also want integration of the tagging debian has added to each package into some sort of easily accessible GUI.
The "Tag: devel::editor, implemented-in::c, interface::text-mode, role::program, scope::application, uitoolkit::ncurses, use::editing, works-with::text, works-with::unicode" information attached to the vim package in this case is only accessable via debtags on the commandline.
Show a user a tag cloud with screenshots for specific programs and the wealth of 10k+ packages becomes much more accessible.
There is technology like this already, called digitalSTROM. It works over existing wiring, sortof like ethernet over powerlines, just a lot slower of course since only simple commands need to be transmitted.
They also seem to have integration with multimedia in mind since microcontroller "LEGO" bricks for retrofitting existing equipment have a separate colour for music (green).
I couldn't find a description on wikipedia, but this youtube video is quite interesting: digitalSTROM TV compact intro english version.
This is from Switzerland, but I bet the Japanese have something like this as well but just don't want to share it:)
