[cracker slang; often written &#8220;<span class="quote">0wned</span>&#8221;] Your condition
when your machine has been cracked by a root exploit, and the attacker can
do anything with it. This sense is occasionally used by hackers.</p></dd><dd><p> 2. [gamers, IRC, crackers] To be dominated, controlled, mastered.
For example, if you make a statement completely and utterly false, and
someone else corrects it in a way that humiliates or removes you, you are
said to &#8220;<span class="quote">have been owned</span>&#8221; by that person. When referring to
games, &#8220;<span class="quote">I own0r UT GOTYE</span>&#8221; means that one has mastered Unreal
Tournament, Game of the Year Edition to such a level that even the hardest
AI characters are mere lunchmeat, and that no ordinary mortal player would
even receive a point in competition. There are several spelling variants:
0wned, 0wn0r3d, even pwn0r3d. Hackers do not use this sense.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="overrun-screw.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../O.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="../P.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">overrun screw </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> P</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
