I don't have any plans to get back to it at this point - but that doesn't mean it's completely out of the question, either.

I'd like to see this functionality taken up by the Ecwid team, to be honest. I'm not a professional programmer, nor do I intend to become one in the near future online.

The code for this is hosted on Google Code - you can see what it is I've done, and it's pretty simple. You might consider hiring a developer on oDesk or a similar freelancer site, having them modify it, and host it yourself?

It's possible, but I really don't have the time to do it right now. The code is hosted at Google, it shouldn't be too horribly hard to modify it for that purpose.

I've got to keep my efforts focused on profitability, unfortunately. I'm working on building a business that doesn't require me to constantly be packing and shipping orders!

Palin would be an *excellent* choice as chair. While unelectable today as President, she'd draw all kinds of fire from the left and the media, would be a hell of a fundraiser, and would let presidential candidates build their base in her media shadow while she took all the heat.

You cannot be guilty of a crime defined by a law that is not applicable to you. US law does not apply to Australian citizens.

Also, no one interfered with or disrupted an electronic system in this case. The documents were available, Manning copied them. That is neither interference nor disruption. It *is* treason, and should be prosecuted as such. Court martial him, and if convicted, execute him. Manning is the one here who broke the law.

You don't have to like Assange, or agree with what he has done - but to insist that he is liable under American law is just silly.

That's my point, though. The US has no standing to prosecute Julian Assange, as he is an Australian citizen. We certainly do not have standing to extradite him here to do it.

Now, is he a viable target for our intelligence service? I think that's debatable.

Manning should be tried, yes. He is an American citizen, subject to our law, and if found guilty in a military tribunal, should be executed.

Assange is not a US citizen, and to my knowledge, has never so much as visited here. US law does not apply to Australians anymore than Iranian law applies to Americans.

So, what electronic system has Julian Assange interfered with or seriously disrupted?

I specifically set up the servers to assist Chinese citizens in breaking Chinese law. In your own words: "you are subject to the laws of the nation you are operating against."

You're being inconsistent. Try and execute the traitor (Manning), leave the Aussie alone.

Surely you don't believe this. I have personally set up and maintained specialized proxy servers so users inside China can access the unfiltered Internet. This is against Chinese law.

Is your position seriously that I should be extradited to China to stand trial?

Julian Assange is not a citizen of the United States, and is not subject to our laws. To my knowledge, he has not so much as set foot in the United States.

To prosecute him under the Espionage Act is the equivalent of Iran demanding extradition of a 20-year-old American woman because she had coffee with a 21-year-old man in a Starbucks in Delaware.

As you may know, morality has little to do with law.
