Do You Know?! -1-

Do you know that the JavaScript getTime() method returns the number of milliseconds since midnight of January 1, 1970 ?!
If you are not sure, copy this code and paste it in notepad and save the file as .html

This is the code:

<script>
date = new Date();
time = date.getTime();
document.write(time);
</script>

Try to refresh the page, and see the increment of the number of milliseconds...

I really don't know why god created it to start counting from that date
If you can tell us, we would be very thankful

And take this second example:

<script>   
var minutes = 1000*60;
var hours = minutes*60;
var days = hours*24;
var years = days*365;
var d = new Date();
var t = d.getTime();
var y = t/years;
document.write("It's been: " + y + " years since 1970/01/01!");     
</script>

This example will calculate the number of years since 1970/01/01 !

Well, i foun the answer, and here it is: "According to their Linux overview, Linux is following the tradition set by Unix of counting time in seconds since its official "birthday," -- called "epoch" in computing terms -- which is Jan. 1, 1970".

So i think somehow it's related to the javascript getTime method
