If you launch a flight route as a bribe for a public official, canceling the route three days after the official resigns is a bit...obvious. -- nm - ty97 Sep 8, 14:49 3

Has anyone given an i-device to their kids? Is there a way - say, through iCloud - to monitor your child's usage? - Mop Sep 8, 14:25 8
- What exactly are you trying to monitor? - spamlet Sep 8, 14:29 7
  - Probably web and social media history. -- nm - Mop Sep 8, 14:35 6

        If he's going to have a full device, why not use SMS/iMessage? - spamlet Sep 8, 14:55 3
        
        We're going to activate on Tracfone so he'll have limited data and voice minutes. - Mop Sep 8, 15:14 2
        
        You are correct on iMessage. If you both have iOS devices, I don't know why you'd add a third complication to it rather than using the native app? -- nm - spamlet Sep 8, 15:25 1
        
        I'm not in the Apple eco-system, and the way Google Hangouts permeates everything is pretty slick. -- nm - Mop Sep 8, 15:46
