I don't think it has much to do with power consumption, but when you turn it off it has to use the extra power that it needs to start back up again. Its supposed to last for quite a long time, but it depends on how often you turn it off. Repeatedly off and on isn't necessarily a great thing to do, but neither is leaving it on constantly, both are so abusive to your computer. As long as its only, like a daily routine, once on, once off, it will most likely last you until you want a new computer.
We always leave ours on, mainly because it is so aggravating to have to get up and turn on 2-3 computers. XD
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.
People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....
