Whoa, autoplaying elevator music is quite the contrast to the hacked site's message and color scheme.

Well... if you'd stop blowing shit up, maybe we wouldn't invade your damn country.

Notepadd++ seems like an odd target.

How do they infer "So you think Islam is terrorist" from a statement of support for free speech? You'd think some basic proofreading would be in order if you're going to go through the effort to make such a statement.

Edit: Why was this submission frozen/removed?

Agreed. It is kinda odd. I don't think that Notepad++ will be doing too well after this. Especially as they already had a blow from the exposure of those in-binary jokes.

Well, to be fair, we (as in the West as a whole, not USA specifically) sorta invaded and messed up them first. They understandably retaliated, which we use for further excuses to invade/manipulate them even more...

Probably because it's a relatively small target to attack while still gaining some exposure, such as front page on HN.

Rather worrying when a popular software package site gets hacked like this, they could have easily kept the original site up but just replaced the binary download and file hash and nobody would really know.

This is basically saying, killing the people was OK.
