Which is the same as saying the number of milliseconds since 1970. It has +finer granularity than a normal Unix timestamp and thus is often used in realtime +applications. + +According to startup lore, Hammertime was coined by a startup whose founder had an +interesting interaction with M.C. Hammer. There was no name given to "Unix time with +milliseconds" and while brainstorming ideas (because Unix time with milliseconds is +a confusing mouthful), someone suggested Hammertime and it stuck. -- cgit
