Run bind locally on your laptop. There's a Win32 version available if you're not running some sort of Unix or Linux on there. It's what I do as my ISP's DNS is wonky at times, as is $ork's as they choose to use Active Directory for DNS.
For the sake of the root servers, I hope everyone doesn't start doing this.
Well configured laptops will not put that much pressure on the roots. A single misconfigured / broken recursive name server puts a lot more pressure on the roots than lots of well-configured laptops.
I guess one could argue that the chance of misconfiguration go up as the number of systems goes up.

I didn't say "I hope a few cluefull people don't do this." I said "I hope _everyone_ doesn't start doing this." Big difference.
For the sake of the net, I hope no one, not even a semi popular OS venduh, gets the idea to build a dns server in to their next OS some day.
