While I often found his stories and comments to be far reaching, overstated, overly optimistic & sometimes bordered on religious zealotry [wiktionary.org], I will miss his contributions and wish his family and friends well. I hope they know that Roland was a man committed to the proliferation of technology and advancements has done great things for both our community & society.
It is also comforting to see a soul survive and prosper in a technological field and end up where they want to live blogging peaceful
Via con dios, Roland. You were a prick in this life and I can only suspect your ghost will haunt Slashdot for all eternity, posting/trolling your blog links as news. People like you were the reason a -1 modifier was made and I can only suspect St. Peter will give YOU a -1 when you show up before the pearly gates.
You mean-spirited asshole, I honestly hope you get your 72 virgins in the here-after AND I HOPE THEY ARE ALL MALE.
Thanks for the reminder. I can finally delete the "NoRoland" Greasemonkey script in Firefox.

Suzanne said that Roland had a few posts in the pipeline and wanted them published. If she is able to pull them from Roland’s PC we’ll put them on his blog to complete his record.
Never keep up with the Joneses. Drag them down to your level.

I don't know about that, but on Roland's approach St. Peter was heard to say "oh no, it's Roland".

No, actually St. Peter has no idea that Roland is coming. He was using an extension to block everything related to him.
