My compatriot here has answered a bit immaturedly to your post.Actually, Brazil is a really respected and growing economy like ours. I think both of our countries face very similar problems related to poverty and development.
However, I guess the Brazilian government needs to do more in promoting IT and English education in their country if they want to compete with India in times to come. We are too many now and we have a worldwide diaspora. Our hearts arent infested with hatred or anxiety. Our country was founded on the principles of democracy and respect. We are the harbingers of Gandhi's peaceful principles combined with age-old sagely wisdom. In short - We can kick anyone's ass. But so can you guys..if you want to. But too bad there are too many of us, and we're working too hard. By the way, the chinese are kicking both our asses when it comes to manufacturing. And the way to compete with them is not to cry fowl about it - It's plain and simple hard work like the old times ! It's just capitalism.. making everyone richer ! So dont worry about it and try to convince the US govt to raise H1-B caps for Brazilian programmers.Get working mate and dont lurk around on slashdot this long !
Well, I am sorry but you're wrong there. Apu pays as much taxes as you do in purchasing-power-parity terms, but his taxes arent used as effectively by his governance as they are done by yours. Besides, Apu can save enough money in 5 years to buy a nice home in Pune. Can you do that where you live ?
We had our own computer centre (for non CS students) at IIT Kanpur since a long-long time. They run mostly NFS with HP-UX an Solaris servers. It's really cool to have 24-hour on-campus access to a place running Linux isnt it;-) ? IMHO , public access linux centres help to create more *nix awareness in the community, and aid tremendously in open source development by non-CS hackers.

I hope they come up with nice live-update statistics/information screens like the IBM screens at the last Wimbledon!
Get a life my friend.
