Verbowned
AnagramsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Owned is a slang word (e.g. "Tony just got owned"), that originated among 1990s hackers, where it referred to "rooting" or gaining administrative control over someone else's computer. The term's original usage was close to that of the traditional meaning of the word "own" - for instance, "I owned the network at MIT" indicated that the speaker had cracked the servers and had the same root-level privileges that the legitimate owner of the servers had. "Owned", a later variant, became more common in the late 1990s, as did the more abstract usage referring to any compromised security mechanism. By 1997, "owned" was regularly used in website defacements, and it subsequently spread to gaming circles, where it was used to refer to defeat in a game. For example, if a player makes a particularly impressive kill shot or wins a match by an appreciable margin in a multiplayer video game, it is not uncommon for he/she to say "owned" to the loser(s), as a manifestation of victory, a taunt, or provocation. "Ownage" has become a modern equivalent to a “Turkey Shoot,” such as an experienced faction verses a beginner or disadvantaged faction. Owned has now spread beyond computer and gaming contexts and become part of standard slang, and typically follows severe defeat or humiliation, usually in an amusing way or through the dominance of an opposing party. Other variations of the word owned include own3d, 0wn3d and pooned, terms which incorporate elements of leetspeak. In 2009, Newgrounds described a security vulnerability in ActiveX as leaving Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server users open to a "Browse-And-Get-Owned" attack. From Wikipedia under the

Then the Co-operative Societies Act of the State will show you the provisions for removal of an elected Board of Directors.

Q. I understand big corporate media ownership, but what is public and private owned media ownership about? Asked by Jwong - Tue Oct 23 14:20:41 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. public means it's owned by shareholders and trades on the stock market. You can buy or sell shares of the company if you wish. It also means they are bound by governmental restrictions too. These companies, while having a CEO, also have a board of directors who have the power to direct the company and fire the CEO if they see fit. If one wanted to, and had the funds, you could also buy a majority of the stock (if it was available), and thus end up a majority shareholder and take control of a company. This is known as a "hostile takeover". Privately owned are owned by one or more persons, and they can pretty much do whatever they want to with the business.

Q. I am doing a french project on the Acadians. We need a hotel/motel or somewhere to stay, even a inn or something to stay at, one in each county of Prince Edward Island, and three activities in each county. I look, and look, but cannot find anything. Can anyone help? I need addresses, names, sources, everything! The hotels have to be acadian owned, too. I think this whole project is stupid.
