I am the Alpha and Omega. But not the moderator.

It's especially weird since we have a 'why are women so insane' thread, and that wasn't locked.

Well, whatever.

[SevenStar]

I locked it cuz it sucked.

[SevenStar]

nah, I locked it cuz I don't like you.


seriously, my phone was in my pocket. the keys automatically lock after a certain period of time, but before it locked, it musta been manipulated in a way that locked the last thread I read. once I noticed it, I unlocked it.

[msg]

i agree with sevenstar .......on both accounts

That last post seems strangely incoherent there 7*....
You must have had a doober.

A variation of the word "owned". The only reason that this word came about was because of a typo, and given that P and O are right next to each other. It has nothing to do with combining words or anything of the sort. It is rumored to have come about from an early Warcraft3 map, in which the creator meant to have a trigger say "Player X got ownd", trying to use the "1337speak" variation of "owned", but hit P instead of O, thus giving birth to "pwnd".
I've always wondered about the 'p' vs. the 'o'. There are a few other comments in that definitions page like:

Derived from the phrases Pure + Ownage, pwnd is having been brutally defeated usually in a complete landslide loss.

To be owned with a *****. To be ***** owned.

Power owned. Its not just a typo.
It's seriously Power-owned.
Obviously, like the locked thread, no one really knows why. It's just a mystery of the web.

[xcakid]

Kinda like "teh" instead of "the"

I keep going thru monitors cause after awhile they have so much white out, I can't see what I am typing. :D

[PangQuan]

i think people say pwnd to demonstrate their internet savy-ness. everyone knows owned, but only pwnrs know pwnd.

like the word noob.

noob.

when I'm typing from my phone, I don't worry about consistency, formatting, spelling, etc. all that much. I just try to type enough to get my message across. When I text, it's worse, as I will use slang and shorten words.

a typo that has become common slang.

I think the p is a typo that became common, like the and 'teh'. I remember when people first started using owned on the web, it was indeed and 'o'. then, as we became more 1337, the 'o' became '0'. then other changed came:

owned!
0wn3d!
0\^/n3d!
pwned!
pwnd!

[PangQuan]

dont forget

Pwn3d

lol, don't feel bad. When I was 17, I decided to try something different - I memorized the symbol font in MS word - that's the one based on greek characters. You could print out an essay written in symbol and I could read it without making a mistake. I actually won plenty of money because of that skill.

warcraft 3?? where did you find that? "Owned" is an old (well, within the past 10 - 12 years) hacking term. When you get root access on a box, you "owned" it. we used to play hacker wargames and such online where people had boxes set up and your job was to get root access (own it) then try to make it so secure that nobody else could get root and lock you out.

EDIT: nevermind - I see PWN on wikipedia. perhaps the pwn mispelling started there, but not use of 'own' in the sense of owning someone/something

**** dude. thats crazy!

do you still remember it?

[SevenStar]

nah, not all of it. I'm kinda broke right now though, so I may have to re-learn and make some more money...

[SevenStar]

A guy I work with knows 26 programming languages, including pretty much extinct stuff, like "B" - yeah, there was one - it was pretty much eliminated when "C" was released...

[rogue]

26 beats my tiny list.
All languages that I've coded in after school.
LISP, ADA, Forth, COBOL, Prolog, Assembler, C, C++, Pascal, Modula-2, xBase, Actor, VB and a couple of languages for SQL. The 80's and 90's were crazy. I was so happy when things finally got down to Java and JS.
