"hello world" is a standard program every programmer writes when first learning a programming language. There's a while wikipedia article on it.

There's a lot of pure-computer-geek humor in here that I doubt the average Joe would get, especially in HAL's flow. Really, do most people know what a Turing test is? That might explain why so many people here are complaining about HAL's rap "runining it." But those of us who get it think it's amazing, of course.
