HAL because I've always been on HAL9000's side. Kubrick twisted Clarke's story, making HAL evil, when he was in fact, an innocent machine.
I used to have SAL9000 (the verrrrrry cool "female" 9000 from 2010) as my winbox, but when that was shunted along to become the linux machine (hal), I didn't want another SAL. So since I am a massive fan of New Order and Factory records, who even gave their nightclub, a lawsuit and a cat their own FAC number, I thought FAC9000 was good.
