Hal was funny for the following reasons. C++/hello world joke (C++ is a Programming language, hello world is the first example most programming language guides use) Linux joke (I'm on linux B****, I thought you Gnu) Linux is basically a open source OS that competes against windows and mac, even though it's not really known by the general market. also Gnu is some of the tools that power it, and the brand associated with a lot of open source stuff. (technically Linux is just the kernal part of the OS, but everybody says linux when they mean whatever distro they use, so it doesn't matter) Open source means the program code is availible to modify and share, basically, without cost or warrenty most of the time.

Also the Terminator joke lead into a windows vista diss.
