To expand a bit on Alex van den Bogaerdt's explanation: This is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC is actually the French acromyn for this). It is the number of time in seconds that has expired since the epoch, which was defined as January 1st, 1970 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). If you're a Windows user you've probably nevery been exposed to the epoch thing. But if you're a UNIX user this is probably pretty familiar stuff.
