What is HAL?
1. The HAL-9000 computer, guardian of the spacecraft Discovery in the novels and films of 2001: A Space Odyssey and its sequel, 2010. First activated at the HAL plant in Urbana, Illinois on January 12, 1997 (or 1992 in the film version). HAL is short for Heuristic ALgorithmic, and not derived by moving one letter back from the initials of IBM, as some have suggested. HAL's apparently psychotic behaviour in 2001 is revealed in the novel, and in either version of 2010, to have been a result of a neurosis arising from conflicts between his programming to accurately input, analyse and output information, and the demands of national security mandated by the Pentagon.
2. Any troublesome, wary or otherwise bloody-mindedly unhelpful computer.

What does "HAL" mean?
HAL was the computer from 2001: A Space Oddesy and from its sequel, 2010. A fun fact about the movie was that when it was produced, IBM was the only company that sold computers. Microsoft and Apple didn't exist. So, to not make references, the letters in IBM were moved down one letter, creating HAL. HAL was also effective because he didn't have a face, and wasn't doing anything wrong.
