This actually could be confused for a "legitimate" hacking attempt, considering how they got hacked a couple of months ago (or was it a different Notepad app?)
-
They did some kind of protest that looked like they were hacked, I remember reporting that one because it freaked me out. It looked like the legit update channel was infected with a trojan-laced update.

Eh, I knew I should've kept up.

I've seen enough stupid to not be surprised if it were real. I mean, the whole chameleon shtick is obviously tongue-in-cheek, but I wouldn't be surprised if a "legitimate" hacker did that.
So, TR is me, I guess.

wasn't "je suis charlie" ?
i remember updating notepad++ got me a text file with a text about charlie hebdo
-
Remember back in the good old days when hackers would just write their name on a website and not steal everyone's social security numbers?
-
wasn't "je suis charlie" ?
that shit was what made me bite the bullet and switch entirely to sublime text.
yeah je suis charlie and all that don't care about that.
DON'T FUCK WITH MY TEXT EDITOR!
-
Oh wow, a shitty notepad app did a shitty prank on a shitty day.
Pre-emptive;
-
That's because the "did it for fun hackers" left their shit around on the internet for "asshole fucktards" to find and abuse.
Identity theft is so methodical, purposeful, and time intensive, that these fools have no excuse for their crimes.
I have no itent to remove this, but it could be inflammatory.

1. Remove Chameleon logo from **your shitty product**
They finally admit it.
yeah je suis charlie and all that
-
meh, it didn't bother me at all. i was more surprised than anything
-
at 0600 i am not in the mood for that kind of surprise.
i spent the rest of the damn day rebuilding that laptop after it got hit with DBAN because of that.
i take a very scorched earth approach to virii.

Remember back in the good old days
Ben, you do not get to use such phrases until you are at least out of college.
-
I guess by "the good old days", he means 2004.
-
-
Yeah, I was having flashbacks to Sasser when I realized it was a politics thing.
-
at 0600 i am not in the mood for that kind of surprise.
the trick is to not be outside your bed at that time, unless, you haven't gone to bed that day.
it's been more than a year since i was awake at that time.
it got hit with DBAN because of that.
DBAN shouldn't work before 1000 or two cups of coffee
-

i'm a morning fox, not a night owl.

adrenaline works better than coffee, and i did say i take a scorched earth approach to virii.
-
yup, but it wasn't a virus. it was a (arguably) poor attemp of the devs to pay respect to the people of charlie hebdo.
also, you do auto-updates on your pc?
-
yup, but it wasn't a virus.
0600 me didn't know that, 0615 me would have, but by that point the adrenaline was riding high.
also, you do auto-updates on your pc?
yeah. non servers update automatically as patches become available, servers start sending email nags when patches are available until i update or explicitly bypass the update.
it's a necessary evil to staying up to date.

Excuse me while I laugh my ass off.
-
Excuse me while I laugh my ass off.
of course you would....
what's your reaction to getting a virus then? or does it never happen because windows is perfect?
-
Can Windows PCs get viruses?
-
only if they run on linux hardware.
it gets in via the hardware.
-

The second one.
-
a shitty notepad app
I pretty much agree. But I went to download it because
sublime text
doesn't have syntax highlighting for VB. And no, I'm not installing VS for 2 small files I have to look into and rewrite in another language.
-
or does it never happen because windows is perfect?
Last nasty wormy encounter I had was W32.Welchia -- and that was only because the infamous DCOM RPC patch wasn't slipstreamed into our restore media after our hard drive died and was replaced -- so we got into a catch22 where going online to get the patch got us the worm instead. Of course, the patch installer was too big to fit on a floppy, and I didn't have access to a CD burner at the time other than the one on the desktop in question...(and this was before USB flash drives were at all common, too)
-
Have a sympathy-like.
-
-
It wasn't in package control! I swear!
And now it's there! WTF?
-
Wait. Did someone say that the previous N++ hack, the one that happened after they made this Charlie Hebdo shit, was fake too?
Also, if it's so shitty, what other text editor do you recommend that starts up in less than second without SSD, has syntax highlighting and auto-indent, and I won't feel like an asshole for using it without paying?
-
and I won't feel like an asshole for using it without paying?
If you pay the developers of quality software the quite-reasonable price they're asking, you won't feel like an asshole.
-
$70 isn't even close to a reasonable price for a simple text editor in this country.
-
- It's not THAT big of a difference:
- So email the author and tell them so, ask for a discount pro-rated based on your cost of living, you lazy fuck. He's not a robot, he's a human being who probably wants you using SublimeText as much as you want to be using SublimeText.
-
- Warsaw is highly unrepresentative of the whole country.
- Your diagnosis of laziness is damn accurate.

Vim? Starts up in about a second on my massively underpowered Win 8 tablet, and has all the rest...
-
Dunno, I always feel a bit like an asshole if I use ti with other people around me.
Well, that might be because I dare them to quit it...
-

I think that one was real.

EditPad Pro

Ah, forget it then.

It lacks the "when I press D, it simply puts the letter d after the cursor, always" feature.
-
Frist of all, Caps Lock exists.
Secondly, many good Editors and IDEs are missing that feature.
Try pressing Dwhile using CtrlI in Visual Studio. It doesn't place a "d" anywhere near a cursor.
-

My keyboard doesn't have Caps Lock, Insert and Power keys - I ripped them all off so they don't annoy me. Back in my teenage years, I used to rip off left Windows key too because I hit it accidentally a lot and it kept minimizing, and therefore crashing my games - but nowadays I don't play as much, I have finer control over my fingers, and I realized it can be useful sometimes. And games don't crash on minimize anymore.Secondly, many good Editors and IDEs are missing that feature.
None that I used. Or at least I haven't noticed.Try pressing Dwhile using CtrlI in Visual Studio. It doesn't place a "d" anywhere near a cursor.
If this shortcut was easier to reach, disabling it would be the first thing I would do after every install. But it's hard to reach, and thus I don't ever press it accidentally (much less on purpose), so I can live with that. Couldn't they make a little search box pop up somewhere where you could type the searched text into, like in Firefox or Chrome or Netbeans?

Unless multiple files per window is a requirement. :-/
-
Since both N++ and N2 are Scintilla-based, I guess it's the same shit? Unless there's something specific to N++ that's broken and works in every other editor.
I just realized no one here has said why exactly Notepad++ is shit.
-
Blakeyrat takes major offence to how its menus work. Something about them is inexcusably and unredeemably broken.

I remember being utterly annoyed by something in it a while ago. But I completely forgot what it was about tbqh, I just know that it took me whole of 5 minutes to give up and install Sublime to get rid of the annoyance.
menus
Oh... right... editors have those...

Could it be something with dealing with multiple files? Because in single-instance mode, you can't have more than 2 files visible at once, and in multi-instance mode, you can open the same file several times, which is wrong.
