If the bottom is well ventilated, and it not HOT to the touch, then it should be OK. You can get a laptop cooler... but you don't even have to plug it in. (This is a metal tray sort of things with holes and fans. It plugs into a USB port for power)

Probably not. I'm not sure why you're intending to leave it on all the time, but at work we use a laptop as one of our Domain controllers, so it never shuts down. It's been in service for years, and we're only replacing it now because of a problem with the display. Other then that, I don't know of any problems we've had with it.

No. You just have to set you power setting to power down the laptop after 25-30mins of inactivity. You could also just close the screen and the laptop will power down, but not shut down.

I turn my laptop off at night and usually when i'm at work. i want mine to last for a long time. i have a laptop desk thinger that i put under it so it doesn't ovverheat too much. turn yours off at least just to let it reboot.

its not good to leave computer running if ur not using it.
a machine needs to take a break once in a while. the purpose of having an off and on button.

i see no harm
long period of inactivity should put it in 'hibernating' mode
just be careful to place notebook on a hard flat surface, so as not to block cooling vents
another drawback could be reduced battery longevity, if u have a ups system, i'd advise to disconnect batteries & use them sparingly & carefully to optimise on battery life, besides battery prices have dropped too

u shdn't really because of build up of heat but u can argue that the fans should take care of that, BUT you will be doing harm to your battery life.

Technicly not, but if it isn't plugged in electricity it will turn off eventually.
