<script language="JavaScript">
var t = new Date();
t.getTime() + -864e5;
</script>
What is that funky code after the "+" at the end of the second line doing?

Javascript date getTime() method returns the numeric value corresponding to the time for the specified date according to universal time. The value returned by the getTime method is the number of milliseconds since 1 January 1970 00:00:00. You can use this method to help assign a date and time to another Date object.
864e5 is a valid JavaScript number that represents the number of milliseconds (a millisecond is 1/1000'th of a second) in a 24 hour day. 1000*60*60*24 = 86400000 or using exponential notation 864e5.

-864e5 means "minus 1 day". So the JavaScript is really getting the date/time 24 hours ago.
