Honestly, with my recent experience with OS/X 10.8, I'd have to say I prefer Windows. It could simply have been the configuration I was using, but I seemed to have a LOT of problems using Macs that I didn't have with PCs.

The first thing to make sure of is that you're staying hydrated. A guideline I heard somewhere suggests that a person is supposed to drink 1/2 oz water for each pound they weigh. (A 150lb person would drink 75 oz of water daily, for example.) This should get most headaches.
If that doesn't work, try ibuprofin, which is sold under the brand names Motrin IB and Advil. (Generics are widely available and exactly the same as the Advil.) I've tried Tylenol and Aleve, and I didn't have any luck. (Doesn't mean you won't, though.)
There's also supposed to be a simple acupressure point on your hands to help eliminate headaches, but I can't remember exactly where it is.

This is a tricky one. Part of me would like to travel to someplace really exotic (Tokyo, Paris, Caribbean islands, etc.), but I wouldn't want my last days on this side to be spent waiting to get somewhere. Of course, I wouldn't want to walk around my neighborhood nude and wait to spend my last sixteen hours or so in jail.

(I know OP isn't here anymore, but I figured I'd answer like I was talking to him/her all the same.)
If they have their curtains open, then you can't be at fault for looking. If they're not comfortable with the idea of being seen nude, they can close their curtains. If someone complained, they would actually be held responsible.
I would actually recommend trying to strike up conversations with them if you see them outside at all, and don't go out of your way to watch them (someone mentioned rearranging furniture, others mentioned hiding in bushes; stuff like that).

I guess it would depend. I know that some of my friends would cock-block before hands even started going under clothes, but I don't think I would do cock-blocking. (Maybe a whispered "be cool" if we passed too close to a police cruiser...) If I wasn't driving, I think I'd even be interested in joining; depends on who it is, though.

I'd have to say that it all depends on what you like, and what you use your system for. For gaming, you're probably going to want a higher-end Windows system. Macs are more useful for creative endeavors (video editing, audio production, image enhancement), but essentially, every OS has the same level of functionality. Sure, Linux doesn't get Microsoft Office, but they have the free Libre Office.
It is true that there aren't as many viruses and malware on Macs, but there are still some. An area of concern with Mac is the fact that there aren't as many security programs as Windows.
I've had experience with Macs, Windows, and Ubuntu Linux. When I worked on Macs most recently (for a job), I had more problems than I had on my Windows or Linux. This could simply be how the network and the machines were maintained, or it could be a software issue.
Another thought to consider is the fact that Macs are much more expensive than PCs. A cheap Windows notebook can run you as low as $300. Macs start at more than $900. It is possible to create a Hackintosh--basically install the Mac OS onto a Windows PC (not all computers will let you do this).
Point is, it's all personal preference.
While I wouldn't call myself a die-hard PC fan, I'd have to say it depends. If I still have my Windows and Linux systems, I would get the Mac. This way, I would have the big three operating systems. If I didn't have a computer at all, I would likely go PC.

Question for the die-hard PC-lovers out there:
Let's pretend you just won a brand new computer as the grand prize in some random Techno-Geek Sweepstakes. The computer prize is the best of the best. But you get to choose PC or Mac.
You cannot sell it on ebay later by the way and pocket the change (I'm onto you, WMM!). You have to keep the computer - so the actual monetary value is irrelevant, but just know that both the PC and the Mac are the latest and greatest versions of both.
Now... with all things considered the same and cost out the window... do you choose PC or Mac?
Come on now...be honest with yourself... you sure you don't want to try?
