On: Windows to Mac to Windows to Mac to... Linux? It doesn't matter.

If I have any of the above, I also don't want to CLOSE the lid.

What's with you people? What's next?

"If I have an ssh session running, I don't want the machine to stop when I remove the battery and the charge plug"?

You don't want to close the lid when you have an ssh session running or IRC? That is non-sensical.

[dextorious → InclinedPlane]

Really? Are you doing something over IRC or SSH with the lid closed? I normally don't talk to irc with the lid closed, because I can't reach the keyboard that easily...

If you want something on the other side of the SSH to continue, use sleep or tmux.

If you want to keep your session, well, keep your lid open...

Except if you want to use your laptop as a server, churning on with the lid closed...

Then you might have to wonder if yours is maybe not the typical use case.

Just sayin...
