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.
Good riddance, dipshit. I hope you share a puddle of lava in Hell with those brave GNAA members who died of AIDS. You deserve every bit of the eternal nigger gang rape you will get. Suck me cock!
Roland Piquepaille corrupted Slashdot with paid articles that were mostly dishonest, in my opinion. Supposedly big breakthroughs he wrote about were often "investment opportunities" in which investors would almost certainly lose all their money.
Roland Piquepaille lowered the value of Slashdot as a business by lowering reader's estimation of how much Slashdot editors can be trusted.
He was a disgusting, mean, dishonest person, and helped create disgust with Slashdot editors.
Perhaps that was right, but Roland has earned a place in the slashdot community.
I had a good time tagging all of Roland's articles as "ohnoitsroland". It made my days more bearable, and everytime I saw his stories tagged already, I chuckled.
Roland was a traditional part of Slashdot (for good or bad), and even if only in the form of a meme, I will miss him.
Funny, you write the basic truth while his corpse is still warm and are modded Troll. Wait a few weeks after they plant him and you'd be modded Insightful
Because there is something called "respect"... nobody will force you to speak beauty of a man you didn't like, but it'd be "respectful" not to throw shit in a post dedicated to his death...
Peace.

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