Oh sorry, I wrote in one of those posts that this is all WRT the Java 
virtual machine.

<class name="ShortCircuit.java">
public class ShortCircuit {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
         System.out.println(1 && 2);
     }
}
</class>

<shell>
$ javac ShortCircuit.java
ShortCircuit.java:3: operator && cannot be applied to int,int
         System.out.println(1 && 2);
                              ^
1 error
</shell>
