Is there a way to stop a MacBook Pro from going to sleep when you shut the lid?

[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 963673, member: 2960"] [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131]Apple Portables: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display[/url] If Apple thought it wasn't safe or if they thought it was highly recommended that you didn't do such a thing, then directions on how to do so would never be posted on their site. In fact, it would be quite the opposite. If it was dangerous, they would post something strongly advising you against it. For example, despite popular opinion, Apple does not sell laptops. They don't call their portable computers laptops. Despite the fact that most users continue to do so and even use these computers on their laps, Apple does advise users of their portable computers to avoid using their machines on their lap.
