I tried AeroFS for a while but in the end went with InSync GD and Google's cloud, though Google Drive works just as well. I use a TrueCrypt vault for personal stuff.

Agreed. I think I simply have to take the plunge and "trust" someone capable.

Google will probably be bank rolling a significant % of the transition project.

I would do it but if there were a health care guarantee for my family.

It has to go both ways.

This is more reasonable than simply taking peoples hard earned.

They do the unpleasant jobs most Americans would consider below themselves. They pay taxes. They should expect acceptance and political representation for it.

Sounds like a "legal bribe".

As an extra bonus... With a NZ permanent residency, I believe, one is also permitted to work and reside in Australia; easily the outstanding economy and often top placed in most living standards, job opportunity and economic and political stability surveys. By way of example, Australia's current head of state and head of government are women.

If the USA continues to put up unnecessary barriers for up-and-coming entrepreneurs to stay in and benefit the US, why not take your business ideas elsewhere?

Frankly there are many more places in the world to live and prosper financially. We live in a global economy, so location should not be always of prime importance for a web-based startup, or...?

Risk v Reward

...and I'm still not one of them! :(

I live just down the road from Globen. My kid is gonna like this.

Great idea. All the best to you moving forward.

If you are also into high speed, high action, full contact sports. I'd highly recommend youtubing Australian Football or Aussie Rules.

Teams to watch out for who tend to play a very entertaining game is the Geelong Cats (last years AFL Grand Final winners). They are going through a golden era at the moment.

Interestingly, the Australian Football Leagues three field umpires are mic'ed up as well.

It was also tried on a number of players but the constant grunting (from exertion) was seen as a distraction to the enjoyment of the game.

11 minutes of action in the NFL would very compare poorly with a full contact outdoor grass field sport like Australian Football (aka Aussie Rules).

I suspect that the amount of action time in a full 100 minute game of Aussie Rules (taking the professional Australian Football League as an example) would be close to 30-40 minutes action time (with some of the midfield players racking up around 20 kms running per game).

It would be interesting to do a similar analysis to the one undertaken here.

NB: Aussie Rules in the US has around 60 clubs and 3000 or so players. Their website can be found here: http://www.usfooty.com/

Poker nights. Winters are loooong down there.
