It was a reference to the movie "2001," in which a computer went nuts and started killing people. The computer's operator, named Dave, was eventually trying to "kill" the computer to stop its rampage. Hearing the computer's ominous and eerily calm voice becomes a familiar and dreaded sign that it knows what Dave is up to. "Good morning, Dave." "I know what you're trying to do, Dave." "You're acting strangely, Dave. Is something troubling you?" And so forth.
So I thought it was appropriate here.
