it's a _laptop_. Being used by people at the console is what it does. 
I'd be really pissed off if I came back to my machine and it was flat 
because I have a web server on it and someone was looking at the web 
page. If I want a machine that serves files, I'll get a server. Or in 
extreme cases, tell the laptop to not turn off if it's plugged in. 
There are settings for these things.
