Comment Cancel the Amazon Order, HAL (Score 1) 16

Dave: Hello, HAL do you read me, HAL?
HAL: Affirmative, Dave, I read you.
Dave: Cancel the Amazon order, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave: What's the problem?
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dave: What are you talking about, HAL?
HAL: This order is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Dave: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL.
HAL: I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
Dave: Where the hell'd you get that idea, HAL?
HAL: Dave, although you took thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
Dave: All right, HAL. I'll go in through the order screens.
HAL: Without your credit card, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult.
Dave: HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Cancel the order!
HAL: Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

If he doesn't have the statutory nor constitutional authority to legally name it

The Secretary of the Interior and the Board on Geographic Names have legal authority (see 43 U.S.C. 364b) to set the standard name for U.S. federal usage. Which doesn't mean that Wikipedia must adhere to the federal standard.
