@SantaClaus Minimal code to reproduce. If not reproducible, file a bug report or something - it's not right for SO.

Try rubber ducking.

Try rebuilding your project adding things file by file.

What version of Xcode? Is it the same for other versions?

Make sure there isn't a previous post on the internet about it.

I wasn't afraid of the darkness, but the cave that we went down today was very deep, multiple people have warned us of the foul air beforehand - too much carbon dioxide and too little oxygen. But it was okay for us as we did not go to the very bottom (did like only 85% of the whole cave)

How was that cave formed? Was it an underground river or due to volcanic activity?

Bungonia Caves

Bungonia Caves is the name given to a series of caves near the city of Goulburn, New South Wales Australia. == Overview == The caves are sited within the Bungonia State Recreation Area (SRA) adjoining the Morton National Park, about 35 kilometres (22 mi) east of Goulburn and about 125 kilometres (78 mi) south-west of Sydney. The caves are formed in limestone at the southern extremity of the Sydney basin, a broad expanse of New South Wales between this point, the city of Newcastle in the north, the town of Lithgow to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east. The caves are precipitous in ...

Bart

@Sumurai8 It's minimal, but I can't say I wouldn't have done it if I stumbled upon it

Sumurai8

Puting phrases on seperate lines does not improve a post. Butchering the grammar does not improve it. ("I am using google app engine(GAE) in on the server side and I am using objective-C for my iphone application." is worse than "I am using google app engine and i am using objective-C for my iphone application."). The only actual improvement is that iphone is now spelled iPhone.

hrmmm; it seems that I am the only person that rejected the edit. I hate such edits. Unless they only address things that are actually wrong it is only ground for edit-warring with the OP of the post.

@Jamal With a tag-only suggested edit, I often edit it myself to do what the tag-edit-suggester guy forgot — there’s virtually always a way to improve a post’s body or title. If I do, I accept his edit but do not give him the +2 helpful part.

I don’t leave a message explaining that though. I’m hoping whoever he is he’ll get the hint that he didn’t do enough. But if I’m lazy, sometimes I just reject a tag-only edit.

@rene I suppose with NAT and virtual servers, all things are possible. Perhaps more importantly, they traceroute rather differently.

Look at the tails.

Although I don’t know how much to trust traceroute in the face of NAT, they do seem to terminate at a different place using a different number of hops.

On the Data Explorer site, I saw (some mounth) I can ask such question on Stack Overflow with the DataExplorertag. Have you locked at the tag? Most questions are like this and some are mines with exactly the same purpose.
