They just meant there's no such thing as global warming on Earth. We've been strengthening our atmosphere through consumption of fossil fuels, so it would be pointless to try to break that down. Mars' atmosphere, OTOH, is still untouched, susceptible to global warming because it hasn't been exposed to the benefits of the byproducts of burning coal and oil.
I have to shake my head at what passes for "news" sometimes. The size of computer systems has been shrinking for years. The big, hulking crates of yesteryear are inexorably being replaced with smaller, slimmer boxes. This is obvious to anyone opening a catalog or viewing a manufacturer's website. Apple's done some good stuff, and they've also made mistakes. Big deal. Who hasn't? Tell me something I don't know.
As the submitter so succinctly states, "Time will tell which list the Mini will belong to." In other words, this is just idle speculation and a non-story.
It still sounds like you'd require multiple versions of the same document. That means either access to the data store itself where the document was being edited, or the user has passed around multiple versions to others.
This is not so farfetched as you might think. The latest issue of Woody's Office Watch discusses this issue and lists some common ways to get hold of multiple copies of a document:
You could simply grab a copy of the file in the morning and then later in the day after some changes are made.
Or compare the latest version with one on a backup.
Copies on a server and that replicated to a networked computer.
Or make use of Microsoft's own Shadow Copy feature that stores multiple past versions of your documents.
If you are using the backup copy option in Word then there's a near duplicate of the original in the same folder.
Copies sent back and forth over email could be intercepted and compared.
Admittedly, it's not something your average cubicle droid would be prone to doing, but there's always the risk.
How many businesses do you know of that use Hotmail as their official company email? Sure, maybe somebody running a catering service out of his or her home kitchen, as an example. Cases like those indicate that the owner decided to "jump on the internet bandwagon" as an afterthought, to "keep up with the times". Just about any business that deals with a serious amount of email correspondence is hosted through their ISP (mainly because ISP's generally provide such hosting along with access) or has its own setup (as you pointed out).

given up on getting a girlfriend, eh? :)

Well, he is a Slashdot reader...

I try, but sometimes understanding it I cannot. I could care less though its not like scripting is it's own reward.
I have to say I'm impressed. Everything you said makes perfect sense, except of course calling American Idol natural.

Just last night, I saw a commercial for the new MSN Search. It has to be better than Google -- after all, I saw it on TV!
So where's your non-troll question? ;)
Perhaps .ggl?
What about NeXtBox?
