[] Quoted from "Promise-child in the Land of the Humans" by Gregory Benford and David Book, an article in "The Compleat Computer" by Dennie L. Van Tassel. " HAL stands for Heuristically programmed Algorithmic computer, which simply means that HAL can teach himself to do new things, just as a man does." -- Jim O'Connor
