HAL 9000: HAL (Heuristically
programmed ALgorithmic
computer) was the computer that ran the spacecraft Discovery
One in Arthur C. Clarke's and Stanley
Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
It is also the computer that killed off the entire crew of Discovery
One save for one David Bowman. When asked
about this oversight HAL only had this to say, "Sorry about
that, Dave."
