This isn't surprising. I've always seen br up there with ru in terms of hacker comminity activity.

I noticed the two articles are set to be translated from Spanish. I have another interesting piece of info about Brazil: the language is Portugeuse and that is what those articles are written in. Note it looks a lot more like French than Spanish does.

You are right about the language in Brazil, but the articles are written in Spanish. Dead giveaways: "los", "más" (with the accent), "uno" and the letter "ñ".

And I'm not sure it looks more like French than Spanish. As a native Portuguese speaker with no education on either Spanish or French, I can understand Spanish much better than French.

I agree with you. I'm a native Spanish speaker, and I can watch TV in Portuguese, but not in French. Have never studied none of them.

Too bad I haven't earned a downvote button in my account yet. :( Please don't spread misinformation, it's clearly Spanish, not "Portugeuse" (sic), and Portuguese looks nothing like French, at least no more so than Spanish. I can't even begin to imagine where you got these impressions.

I'm really sorry everyone. I'll be over here punishing myself in a salt mine for 1000 days and nights.
