Comment due to a GRUB issue (Score 1) 169

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.

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

Unfortunately, it's technically not possible to completely block this stuff. You end up with a system that's either hugely expensive and a losing battle because there are millions of these sites or it's just not effective. The cost of putting these systems in place outweigh the benefits, to my mind.
Pornnet and Internet could be separated or as simple as .porn domain to make filtering easier.
