I want to say I'd strategically accrue wealth and use it to make the world a better place, but realistically I'd probably just end up running around turning random stuff into gold and totally crashing the gold market.

Why would I want to hide it? I'm turning myself in and letting them do their best to figure out what happened to me, on the condition that I'm paid fairly for my time (just as with any other human trial). If they can figure out how to replicate it, it would be incredibly useful.
I think any scientists or government organizations would be much happier experimenting on a consenting and cooperative subject than a kidnapped and imprisoned one.
No, that's why I post my memes here.
Loss of the person and a significant chunk of the Earth, yes.
That's absolutely right; there's no special origin point in space where the Big Bang began. However, there is a specific reference frame that the Big Bang occured in, which we can measure by looking at the redshift of the cosmic microwave background left over from it. The solar system is currently moving at around 600km/s relative to that.
Interestingly, this is actually an expanding reference frame due to the universe's expansion, so two observers locally at rest relative to it will each see the other moving away.
Too lazy do it yourself? Come on. 
Hmm, that might make it feasible to do with something that you can actually buy in large quantities, like tungsten! Would still probably cost four or five figures though.
That's a good point, though there's a significant financial barrier to building renewable infrastructure that doesn't go away just because land is available.
I agree with the first one, the second one is factually incorrect (agriculture is only 10% of human CO2 emissions even in the meat-hungry US), and I have no clue what Mass Effect is so I can't comment on the last one.
5 gigs is a bit high; just checked and my Mint Cinnamon installation is idling at under 2. I used to have an old 4GB Macbook Air with Cinnamon, which ran acceptably considering its specs (and was a heck of a lot faster than MacOS).
I didn't even let my latest laptop boot to Windows when I first turned it on, the Linux USB stick went in right away. But for those who use Windows for one reason or another, always perform a clean install; manufacturers love including all sorts of crap by default.
Now sue the crap out of them.
