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

I don't have them, and I'm not looking at this story again, because I'm grossed out by some of the folks here.

Come on, Bruce.
Its slashdot for God's sake. If you can't laugh at someone's death here where can you?
FWIW, I didn't care one way or the other for Roland, but I'm still sorry to hear of his passing.

I wonder if your mourners would mind if I laugh all the way through your eulogy?

I'd actually be very pleased if my death made it to the front page.
