4/23    In unix, if I nice a job and it backgrounds other processes, are
        those processes niced as well?
        \_ yes, nice values are usually inherited.
           \_ If only that were the case with people, too.
              \_ Yes and with people if you kill a parent he doesn't
                 try to kill his children before he dies either.
                 \_ No, he just leaves zombies all over the places that need
                    to be killed manually.
                    \_ remember, aim for the head.
                       \_ BRAAAAAAAINS!
