During the church ceremony, an offering collection plate is going threw the ranks to pay for the infrastructure and the pastor. The « It's come to jesus time » is more of an introduction to this donation ritual more than anything else I think.

An expression widely used in the American South. I think Urban Dictionary explains it best:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=come%20to%20jesus

1.    come to jesus
Getting called on the carpet, dressed down, or otherwise chewed out in a severe manner. Usually used in conjunction with "meetin'" (meeting)
He was late one too many times, so the old man dragged him in the office for a "come to jesus meetin'".

Sort of a southern baptist thing I think... and as such probably more of a joke line than anything.


yes.  as an aside, i was raised baptist, which is why i'm familiar with (and use) the term, but the wiki link above summarizes it well:

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/come_to_Jesus
(idiomatic, US) To become committed or display commitment to a cause.

I'm an American Israeli, living in Be'er Sheva, and have gotten a Tt eSports Meka G-1, and a Razer BlackWidow and BlackWidow Ultimate from K. S. P..  But I also have had to shop outside the country to get Filco and Ducky boards.  Yes, the shipping charges are horrific, and the Customs/VAT/Handling charges (through EMS) are likewise.  Guess that's the price you have to pay for living the good life.

I guess the "come to Jesus" expression is sort of universally Christian.  It has to do with the belief that faith in Jesus will save you.  (People, correct me if I am wrong.)

Your English is super.  If you're a sabra, then your parents can't be.:usa2:


My sister lives in Be'er Sheva? You wouldn't happen to be in University would you? (BGU)

Hadn't paid this thread much mind.. as someone said earlier, the jesus line was a bit out there.. someone should probably change that.. might get a few more donations.

Just donated a bit. Server seems to be running like silk. :)

and like magic, it's gone! ;)

anyway, bumping this again because as i said on desko, we do really need money right now. here's what's going on hardware-wise:

1) two drives have gone bad on us in the last 6 days. we have had to replace these drives out of pocket to get the server up.

2) we've been donated a high-performance highly-redundant storage array, but we have had to pay for shipping and some additional hardware to get it up and running. once we get this up, we will be able to significantly increase our transaction rates, storage capacity, and our backup and restore capabilities. we're really excited about this, but so far we have been paying for this all out of pocket.

3) imav has sacrificed both a significant amount of travel time, fuel, and weekends he could have spent with his family to stage and prime the hardware changes we needed to bring the site back up securely and performantly.

i've been working with members of the community to come up with some targeted fundraiser drives (rootworm doubleshot keycap anyone? ;) that will help make up for these efforts, but we can always use more.

thanks for hearing me out folks, and happy geekhacking!

:o what spec box does geekhack need!? Surely 2 xeon multicores and 15k sas raid 10 would cope?

I'm using 380's as esxi hosts and getting plenty guests on there with decent performance.

the donation campaign has moved to donation links elsewhere and the charity auctions. i'm going to let this thread sink, but please remember that we still need those donations :)
