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

    That's what I would think, as the SI-system is fairly logical. Then you meet someone from the UK and they tell you there's x feet in an inch. 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

          This one is right up there with PARSECS_FOR_KESSEL_RUN.

          I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

                          Awesome nonsense. :-) He might just as well have blurped something like making the run in less than 38 lightyears.

                                I once had a customer tell me, "I want this process time to be ten seconds. Ten German seconds. Not American seconds." We all laughed.

                                  Yes, but that's quite a difficult value. Imperial still has some very logical measurements, such as Rod (unit) - Wikipedia[^]

                                        Depending on the usage you might then get a "Division by zero" exception / fatal error popup window instead.
