title: How to get the number of milliseconds elapsed so far today
body: <p>I want to get the current time and date in milliseconds. How can I get this?</p>
  
  <p>I tried this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Date date=new Date() ;  
  System.out.println("Today is " +date.getTime());
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It will return the milliseconds from the 1 Jan 1970. </p>
  
  <p>But I want the current millisecods of the today's date, like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>23:59:00 = 86340000 milliseconds
  </code></pre>
