In the name of what? Certainly not freedom.

If your leanings are as I suspect they are towards the lack of need for a totalitarian regime due to high moral standards and solidarity, you should rather than oppose one thing support its competition.

You could buy the machine from a different country and do a tag transfership. - Or call Dell sales and tell them you want an n-series machine.

IAADCSE. If you get a hold of me during business hours I will google your Ubuntu problems for you.

You can use your smart-phone for reading bar codes and all those fancy web things. When HTML5 and geo-awareness finds its killer app, it'll be like you have a new telepathic sense of your surroundings.

As tech support for a certain four-letter PC manufacturer, because of this I remind peope with good income every day that there has been a natural disaster in another part of the world. I like to think that this has caused some of them to donate to the releif effort.
