laughs in "stay awake even if lid is closed" settings in linux.
Even Windows 98 has that setting
I used to work for a notebook manufacturer, and it was a non-trivial part of the cooling strategy that the lid is open under load.
I hope they've changed, but megacorps usually don't.
My ASUS work laptop absolutely screams if the lid is closed while I'm working on my other monitor. It drives me nuts.
