NO PLACE TO HIDE by Robert O'Harrow, Jr.

"One kind of sensor that's already getting a lot of attention and financial support from the government is called "smart dust." Leading the way on smart dust is a company called, appropriately enough, Dust Networks. Founded in 2002 by engineers from the University of California at Berkeley, Dust builds battery-powered sensors called "motes" that keep getting smaller and smarter. By early 2005, they expect to have a version about the size of a bottle cap that can sense chemicals or the presence of vehicles and maybe take photographs. If several handfuls of these motes are dropped in a nine-square-mile area, they can communicate to one another and then transmit their collective assessment to a main computer, or even a PalmPilot. The company is selling dust as a way to monitor almost anything: the efficiency of refrigerators, the strength of a military convoy, and the activities of people. Eventually smart dust could be as small as a grain of sand and operate for years at a time without new batteries."

Men treat women the same way they treat other men. They "play it cool" because they do now want to apper weak or desperate.

The Nice Girl:
She'll play the guilt card or talk about her "inner child" She seems to possess a child like quality.

The Bitch:
She's a grown woman, so there is nothing "childlike" about her. She has a no-nonsense philosophy."
