Re: miliseconds since 1970 something

 No.. I mean the number of miliseconds as given by java.util.Date.getTime()

getTime()
Returns the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT represented by this date.

I think that is how the systemclock works, counting miliseconds. When getting the date from my database a can get the time on the milisecond and it will matter in some cases. But i would prefer if i didn't have to parse the date since it is a rather large number of dates that is handled.
