Really that many people recompile their kernel amazing. I think your being optimistic about the number of geeky enough people.

Grub2 that ubuntu/mint use works very well I usually keep my kernels latest release and have never had problems with Grub2. I've had lots of problems however with Alsa/PulseAudio doing kernel updates. I use Grub2 for booting 4/os and its awesome when I install a new distro don't install the new distro's Grub/Lilo. Boot to Mint go to terminal type "update grub2" works every time.
Also with a tablet I doubt you would even see the boot loader on the screen. How many people will install 2 os on a tablet? Why give people boot options when it is completely unnecessary.
Imagine starting up your new Mac/Win machine and it gives you an option to boot into OSX/Win7 respectively wouldn't you just be thinking WTF is wrong with the people that made this thing? It would actually look kind of amateurish if there was a visible Grub2 during boot.

it was the size of the pea brain that mattered.

Its more like "Excuse me sir drop your pants, lift you sack, bend over and smile." Why can they search you in jail without x-rays and ball groping? Oh and they make you open your mouth and lift your tongue. All without touching you.

What about his concealed carry permit?

Lately /. could just link to the Fark home page and be done with it.

Must have found a fishing pole by the dock.

To much money on phone bills.
5 minutes for it to start.
Random crashes for no reason (particularly media player).
The actual telephone part of it had so many quirks it was only semi usable as a phone.
Internet was dodgy at best and I live next (2 miles) to a new tower .
I got a new phone like my old one from 4-5 years ago couldn't be happier but now I have a BB Storm that's basically an mp3 player and did I mention media player crashes a lot requiring a 5 min reboot

Why would there be streets if there were no cars.
If cars don't exist, no need street, then no noise. You can have one big friggen sidewalk.

Listen to the sounds of my penis smacking you in the forehead. MAWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Can I have some money please? Promise I'll split it with you ITC.
With all the trouble they cause we should call them Stupid phones.

It's better than running around dangling my participle for every one to see.

I think rampant government corruption will do more to damage my child's mind than seeing some porn.
Did you tell your social worker that to?
