Damn. I was hoping you knew of one! ;)

Personally I prefer cubits
cheers Chris Maunder
Is that cubits / Pirate-Ninja? Did you know there is a unit called the sheppey - about 7⁄8 of a mile (1.4 km), defined as the closest distance at which sheep remain picturesque?

I put it to you that a variable, constant or define named "MILLISEC_PER_SEC" is never, ever, ever needed.

Come to think of it, are there any milliseconds in a Leap Second?
It depends if you measure them or not.

Or, perhaps it's needed to differentiate in regions where they use an Imperial Second instead of a regular one.

C'mon - quatre vingt dix rolls off the tongue! (and it's the reason I can only count to 69 in French when I'm drunk. The maths gets too hard)

(why did you go there?) It brought to mind french cuisine, crawling off one's tongue (leaving a slime trail). I hadn't expected this type of treatment from you!

Hence the elipsis - I can't put a dot over a three reliably (there's no HTML overstrike-and-superscript tag that I know of)

Or the simpler option: 0.0833 (Assuming the hamsters don't eat the style.)

It's easier in Switzerland, they use septante, octante, nonante instead of soixante-dix, quatre-vingts, quatre-vingt-dix. In Belgium they use some bastardised version with septante, quatre-vingt, nonante IIRC.

It's also a nice shortcut, to change the display from msec to sec, just by setting this constant to "0" instead of "1000" :p
Depending on the usage you might then get a "Division by zero" exception / fatal error popup window instead.

Relatively speaking, without it, how could you ever know that your MILLISEC_PER_SEC doesn't match mine? :|

I actually disagree; I often deal with code using second, milliseconds, microseconds and even nanoseconds, sometimes with more than one unit in a function. Having a const (of some sort) declares what conversion was intended.
