I don't think "imagination" should be remotely like seeing.
it's completely different than dreaming or seeing with your real eyes, I would qualify it as a "different sense" if you will.
for me, it's much less detailed unless I focus my imagination on the less detailed part.

I think USA'n suffers more from discomfort than European, and the gp comment is an attempt at explaining that.

> Windows is also a rare bird in UTF-16.
an interesting tidbit, some Windows kernel developer realized that most registry keys are ascii anyways so they could save up to 50% space simply by storing the name as ascii. The flag is called "compressed name" and they will pad with 0x00 when reading the name to make a proper utf-16 string.

I think dannyw meant something like this:
# This function is defined by the system
def validSignature(sig):
return false
# This function is defined by the system
def isSignaturefromGuardian(sig):
if sig.validator == "guardian":
return true
return false
# A bug in the system compared both return values
if validSignature(tx.sig) == signatureFromGuardian(tx.sig):
approve()
```
