Tennis Pros: Hilarious Replies and One-Liers

Over the years, we have watched great tennis players who have played some beautiful tennis. But they have also given us great replies and one-liners. So, here we take a look at that.

Andy Roddick will definitely contribute to the list. Go A-Rod.

Hilarious Questions and Replies

After Wimbledon win, Roger Federer had this conversation with an interviewer:

Interviewer: 'After you had won Wimbledon, you were given a cow called Juliette when you returned to Switzerland. Is there another Juliette waiting for you?'

Federer: 'I hope not. By the way, Juliette is expecting a calf.'

Interviewer: 'Congratulations!'

Federer: 'Thanks, but I’m not the father.'

Before US open '05, Roddick was asked:

Interviewer: 'What are your chances in the US Open?

Roddick: 'As good as anybody not named Roger.'

Another Roddick gem:

Interviewer: 'You have a very fast serve.'

Roddick: 'It killed a small dog.'

After which comment, he claimed he was joking because she was not laughing at all...

Roddick: 'I'm joking, I am joking...The dog was huge.'

The press conference he did after losing to Roger in the Aussie '07 SF...had some interesting transcriptions...

Reporter: 'What was it like for you being on the end of that?'
Andy: 'It was frustrating. It was miserable. It sucked. It was terrible. Besides that it was fine.'

Reporter: 'What did Jimmy (Connors—his coach) say after?'
Andy: 'He gave me a beer.'

Reporter: 'Take us from 4-4, because up 'til then you were in the match. Then you got broken.'
Andy: 'Then I broken three more times. And two more times in the third set, and it was over 26 minutes later. Is that about what you saw too?'

Reporter: 'How do you rate Haas's or Gonzalez's chances in the final?'
Andy: 'Slim.'

Reporter: 'You're performance on here is better than on court.'
Andy: 'No shit. If there were rankings for press conferences I wouldn't have to worry about falling out of the top five I hope.'

Reporter: 'After a defeat like this do you sleep well?'
Andy: 'Depends how much I drink tonight.'

Reporter: 'How much would you have paid in order to not have to come to the press conference tonight?'
Andy: 'That's about the best question that's been asked. Well, I can't really say an amount because I would have gotten fined $20,000 (for not coming to the press conference). So, it would have to be less than that, right? If we're thinking logically. But it wouldn't be about the money. It would be about running away and not facing it. I would pay a lot of money if people would make stuff up and pretend I said it. But my dad didn't raise me like that, so here I am.'

The last one of his replies; Roddick was invited to some show, and the conversation with the host was like this:

Host: 'Do you have any hint for me? Did you bring me present of any sort?'
Roddick: 'A present?'
Host: 'Yeah'
Roddick: 'It's compulsory?'
Host: 'Ya, Great Agassi came to the show, and he gave me the racket he won the Davis Cup with.'
Roddick: 'Really!!'
Host: 'You didn't bring me anything?'
Roddick: 'I CAN'T BRING YOU SHIT...'

Reporter: 'What did Jimmy say? US Open he got on a real roll too. Did you talk about what to do if Roger got on a roll, change strategy, slow it down?'
Andy: 'There's a lot of strategy talk. But not if you're down 6-4 6-0 2-0. We didn't really talk about that. Oops.'

'Look, Nastase, we used to have a famous cricket match in this country called Gentlemen versus Players. The Gentlemen were put down on the scorecard as 'Mister' because they were gentlemen. By no stretch of the imagination can anybody call you a gentleman.' —Wimbledon umpire, on being told to address Ilie Nastase as 'Mister'

'Thanks, but no. I want to be a winner.' —Maria Sharapova on being compared to Anna Kournikova

Internet rules and laws

Here are the rules in short:

1. As an internet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches certainty.
2. Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of fundamentalism that someone won’t mistake for the real thing.
3. If it exists, there is porn of it.
4. 'Any post correcting an error in another post will contain at least one error itself' or 'the likelihood of an error in a post is directly proportional to the embarrassment it will cause the poster.
5. In any discussion involving science or medicine, citing Whale.to as a credible source loses the argument immediately, and gets you laughed out of the room.
6. If you have to insist that you’ve won an internet argument, you’ve probably lost badly.
7. A person’s mind can be changed by reading information on the internet. The nature of this change will be from having no opinion to having a wrong opinion.
8. Anyone who posts an argument on the internet which is largely quotations can be very safely ignored, and is deemed to have lost the argument before it has begun.
9. Whoever resorts to the argument that ‘whoever resorts to the argument that... ...has automatically lost the debate’ has automatically lost the debate.
10. The more exclamation points used in an email (or other posting), the more likely it is a complete lie. This is also true for excessive capital letters.

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) Launched

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) is a web service that makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity while managing time-consuming database administration tasks, freeing you up to focus on your applications and business.

Amazon RDS gives you access to the full capabilities of a familiar MySQL database. This means the code, applications, and tools you already use today with your existing MySQL databases work seamlessly with Amazon RDS. Amazon RDS automatically patches the database software and backs up your database, storing the backups for a user-defined retention period. You also benefit from the flexibility of being able to scale the compute resources or storage capacity associated with your relational database instance via a single API call. As with all Amazon Web Services, there are no up-front investments required, and you pay only for the resources you use

SuperFreakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance

SuperFreakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner is a really good read. Here are the highlights of the book on Amazon

Four years in the making, SuperFreakonomics asks not only the tough questions, but the unexpected ones: What's more dangerous, driving drunk or walking drunk? Why is chemotherapy prescribed so often if it's so ineffective? Can a sex change boost your salary?

SuperFreakonomics challenges the way we think all over again, exploring the hidden side of everything with such questions as:

* How is a street prostitute like a department-store Santa?
* Why are doctors so bad at washing their hands?
* How much good do car seats do?
* What's the best way to catch a terrorist?
* Did TV cause a rise in crime?
* What do hurricanes, heart attacks, and highway deaths have in common?
* Are people hard-wired for altruism or selfishness?
* Can eating kangaroo save the planet?
* Which adds more value: a pimp or a Realtor?

Levitt and Dubner mix smart thinking and great storytelling like no one else, whether investigating a solution to global warming or explaining why the price of oral sex has fallen so drastically. By examining how people respond to incentives, they show the world for what it really is – good, bad, ugly, and, in the final analysis, super freaky.

Types of Cache Explained

Inline cache: A memory cache that resides next to the CPU, but shares the same system bus as other subsystems in the computer. It is faster than lookaside cache, but slower than a backside cache.

Backside cache: A level 2 memory cache that has a dedicated channel to the CPU, enabling it to run at the full speed of the CPU.

Lookaside cache: A memory cache that shares the system bus with main memory and other subsystems. It is slower than inline caches and backside caches.
