When you leave your computer on, you expose yourself to the cruelty of the elements. Thunderstorms have been known to send electricity surges that could hurt your power supply. It's a lot of On/Off, but technically it would be to your advantage to cut your computer off when you are done.
Peace.

A computer as in any device consumes energy. There are varied opinions on which is best . Your computer generates a lot of heat thats why more than one cooling fan is neccesary. Heat in turn cause things to eventually break . The rule of thumb is if your going to be away for a short time power it down into standby mode anything longer a shutdown . .

No. You'll save energy if you turn it off. To save more energy you can unplug all those AC adaptors.

Nope.
If you put a screensaver or turn off the screen it's better but still uses more energy than if it's off.

No, it's much better, safer and more energy-efficient to switch off your PC, monitor, printer etc. when they are not in use.

no , thats not true at all.. even if you shutdown but plug is still in, you waste your electricity. it does consume power.
always safe to shut down and pull the plug out
