Second that. If you can version the filenames that's definitely the
most sure-fire way to make sure users don't cache old copies.

Sometimes a random query string does not work.
Changing the filename itself works 100% of the time.
Eg. style-<scm-revision-number>.css

Append some junk querystring to the end of the URL, like
example.com/index.html?20120803132400
<http://example.com/index.html?20120803132400>. Every time it changes,
stuff will be refreshed. Wouldn't really recommend doing it for
regular pages because it makes the URLs look messy, but if you're
trying to refresh scripts or images, go nuts.

How can I make a web page appear as the latest version in all
browsers,
i.e., perform a cache bypass? And I don't mean for me - I
mean for all
visitors to the page? Is it possible?

Once it's cached in the browser there's not much you can do about
it, the browser will store the cache settings at the time when it
cached the page and if those settings say "don't check again for a
month" then, generally, it won't.
If you want the page to never be cached then you need to set the
expiry header. With Apache servers this is quite straightforward
and can usually be done in the directory's .htaccess file:
ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 0 seconds"
This is example was take from HTML5 BoilerPlate:
