HAL became operational on January 12, 1997, at the HAL Plant in Urbana, Illinois. His first instructor was Dr. Chandra.
"The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error."
His twin is SAL 9000.
Hal 9000- "The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error."
the ultimate cutoff point for an unreasonably high number. If you catch sight of anything that is over 9000, take off you scouter or HMD and crush it in your hand immediately while screaming.
"Vegeta! What does the scouter say about his power level?!"
"It's over 9000!!!!!" (scouter is crushed)
A phrase that people use for something of impressive power, skill or just general fun. It stems from the Dragon Ball Z Show when Vegeta and one of his cronies come across Goku, and Vegeta's scouter reveals that Goku's power level is... OVER NINE THOUSAND!
