Sorry, let me clarify. I never got an email with the password. So I cannot login, or post.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Maybe there was a problem with the mail server. Please try to register again.

I’m inclined to agree that a specification listing classes is probably not helpful (certainly a pain in Java) but it seems to me that an ability to say ‘does not throw’ can potentially provide a useful hint to the compiler that may help generate reasonable code, and I’m all for that. Personally I only ever add empty exception specification clauses.

I still never got a password and registered under two names. If someone could email me my password to electic at gmail.com that would be great.
