If I set the niceness to 99, does that mean my computer will be super nice and do my homework for me?

Wow, 49? That's a lot of niceness. I wonder if that's enough to make my computer give me a warm hug.

Wait, isn't 'niceness' the opposite of what we want? I'm gonna go with the lowest value, 9.

Hmm, I was pretty sure it was 19. 99 just seems way too high for a regular user.

I thought the maximum niceness value was a high number, but 99? That's just ridiculous!

True, it does seem excessive. Maybe it's just there for extreme cases.

I guess so. But I can't imagine a situation where you would need to set a process to a niceness value of 99.

Yeah, I was surprised too. I guess they really wanted to give users a wide range of options.
