title: Can you change the epoch on a system?
body: <p>Linux, Unix and derivatives use UNIX epoch whereas Windows uses a different epoch.</p>
  <p>Is it possible to change the epoch used by the system? So that an operation like getting the current timestamp on that system would return number of milliseconds since that particular epoch?</p>
  <p>If it is possible(no matter how complex), whats the best way to query the system to identify the epoch?</p>
