"owned" is a term, more commonly written as "pwned". It originates from the LAN-party scene where people play first-person shooters together. When you kill someone else, you just 'pwned that guy'. Or, you just 'pwn'. hahahaaha you're all so old, not knowing what 'owned' means :) :)
ha ha you're so young, not knowing that the original usage, pre-dating multiplayer games, refers to hackers cracking a server. :-) Have a look at the website defacement mirrors for plenty of hacker graffiti saying "this site is owned" http://attrition.org/mirror/attrition/ http://www.zone-h.org/component/option,com_attacks/Itemid,43/ cheers
