I got $2 change instead of $3 today and that got me thinking about short for some reason. What can do (these days ;-p) with a variable of the short primitive type (16 bits signed)? Any good reason to keep them around?

I have always been skeptical of rewriting working code - porting code is no exception to this. However, with the advent of TDD and automated testing it is much more reasonable to rewrite and refactor code.
Does anyone know if there is a TDD tool that can be used for porting old code? Ideally you…

This is very basic question from programming point of view but as I am in learning phase, I thought I would better ask this question rather than having a misunderstanding or narrow knowledge about the topic.
So do excuse me if somehow I mess it up.
Question:
Let's say I have class A,B,C and D…

Is there an accepted general term that subsumes the concepts of variables, class instances and arrays? Basically "any typed thing that needs memory". In C++, such a thing is called an object, but I'm looking for a more language-agnostic term.

A lot of the code I've been working on recently, both professionally (read: at work) and in other spheres (read: at home, for friends/family/etc, or NOT FOR WORK), has been worked on, redesigned and re-implemented several times - where possible/required. This has been in an effort to make things smaller…

Creating secure passwords for our online accounts is a necessary evil due to the huge increase in database and account hacking that occurs these days. The problem though is that no two companies have a similar policy for complex and secure password creation, then factor in the continued creation of…

Hi. I was looking at the IL code of a valid method with Reflector and I've run into this:
L_00a5: leave.s L_0103
Instructions with the suffix .s are supposed to take an int8 operand, and sure enough this is should be the case with Leave_S as well. However, 0x0103 is 259, which exceeds the capacity…

Hello,
I have a question about the primitive type 'short' in Java. I am using JDK 1.6.
If I have the following:
short a = 2;
short b = 3;
short c = a + b;
the compiler does not want to compile - it says that it "cannot convert from int to short" and suggests that I make a cast to short, so…

I am writing a program to convert some data, mainly a bunch of Tiff images. Some of the Tiffs seems to have a minor problem with them. They show up fine in some viewers (Irfanview, client's old system) but not in others (Client's new system, Window's picture and fax viewer). I have manually looked…

The server is sitting behind our firewall with it's own virtual interface and port 80 is forwarded internally to a machine sitting in the DMZ.
The issue we're having is that when data is posted to the…
