The [HAL-9000] [computer], guardian of the [spacecraft Discovery] in the [novel]s and [film]s 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. HALs 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].
Any troublesome, wary or otherwise bloody-mindedly unhelpful computer.

[Acronym] for, [Hero] Arrives [Last].

[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 didnt exist. So, to not make references, the letters in IBM were moved down one letter, creating HAL. HAL was also effective because he didnt have a face, and wasnt doing anything wrong.
