Just a little note on what has been written about Brazil ...
You guys surely must have heard about corruption here, but it doesn´t
mean that everyone is corrupt, and that every negotiation is a scam
here ...
Brazil is very serious about a lot of things, including our
participation in the open source scenario.
I am sure that a lot of countries are represented in this list, and I
am also sure that none is perfect! What if the world decided to cut
business with the US due to Bush´s politics?
I don't think anyone on this list really cares at all about internal
politics of brazil or brazil corruption or anything else about brazil.
The only fact that matters here to members of this list is that uol.com.br
is an irresponsible, abusive internet provider who pollutes the rest of
the internet with trash and does not respond to complaints.
Most anyone with half a clue has blacklisted uol.com.br years ago.
I think uol.com.br will have to become a LAN before they decide to finally
take action. That is slowly happening, like .kr and .cn are slowly being
firewalled off from the rest of the world for their rampant abuse and
cluelessness.
Hopefully brazilians have more choices than only uol.com.br for an ISP.
