title: new Date().time or new Date.getTime() returning negative number?
body: <p>if I trace <code>new Date().toUTCString()</code> I get something like: Fri Aug 12 07:14:06 2011 UTC. perfect. If I trace <code>new Date().getTime()</code> I get some long negative number which is decreasing as I continue to trace it. This is totally unexpected. Obviously my system clock is OK. What gives?</p>
