	FLAC - comparison
		FLAC decoding is the fastest among lossless codecs and it has the fastest encoding mode.
		Since MD5 sums are not typically used in playback, and since most codecs either do not support MD5 sums or do not compute them by default, to make the comparison as accurate as possible MD5 checking was disabled for FLAC decoding.
		However since it is currently not possible to disable MD5 computation for FLAC encoding, the FLAC encoding times here are 4-15% longer than they would be without MD5 checking.

	Comparison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	comparison - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about comparison
		Comparisons may be made using analogy (illustrating similarity between two things), simile (suggesting that something is like something else), or metaphor (implying that something is something else).
		The Alderman, being of a sensitive, retiring disposition, shrank from further comparison, and, strolling to another part of the garden, stole the camel.
		For the same thing may be small in comparison with one thing, and great in comparison with another, so that the same thing comes to be both small and great at one and the same time, and is of such a nature as to admit contrary qualities at one and the same moment.

	Comparison (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Now, if you have six things to cover in the Main Body (2 subjects times 3 standards of comparison), and if you should deal with all six separately, then that means you should have six sections to the Main Body.
		But if your essay is persuasive--that is, if in fact you are passing judgment as to which subject is better--and if you have striven to fairly describe both subjects in the Main Body, then the place to persuade, to voice your own strong opinions, is in the Conclusion.
		The first is called Subject by Subject, and in it you have three paragraphs which deal with all three standards of comparison in regards to the first subject; then you have three more paragraphs which deal with the same three standards, but in regards to the second subject.

	Comparison Thinking
		Comparison is one of five basic categories of thinking in the North Carolina 1992-93 booklet on thinking assessment and later retained in the 1994 revisions.
		Simple comparisons require attention to one or a few very obvious attributes or component processes, while complex comparisons require identification of and differentiation among many attributes or component actions.
		The separate comparison category emphasizes the distinct information processing required when students go beyond breaking the whole into parts in order to compare similarities and differences.

	Resources for Writers: Comparison Writing
		Making comparisons helps student writers make decisions and judgments, both in planning other papers (see the discussion of synthesis) and in the forming theses and interpretations of data and ideas.
		When a comparison and contrast assignment asks you to compare your personal experience with something else, it is important not to fall into the fallacy of using personal experience to evaluate the accuracy of the other.
		A comparison paper written using this pattern discusses all of the important features of one item and then, turning to the second item discusses all of its important features, explaining how they compare or contrast with those of the first item.

	Comparison Theme
		For example, you take a definition such as "hero" or "postmodernism," choose two stories or songs or tv shows or characters, apply the definition to both, and determine logically which one is a better example (or even an example at all) of the definition.
		Just as circumstances in real-life situations narrow down what you can consider in your comparison (that neurosurgeon simply can't include a deserted island in the Pacific in his deliberations about where to live), so in a theme comparing two artistic items, the circumstances are those things which narrow down the scope of your discussion.
		The readers' interest in a comparison is to see if they can guess correctly what choice the writer will make, or what conclusion the writer will draw, using the information supplied in the introduction and the body.

	XML.com: Comparing Java Data Binding Tools
		As a part of the comparison, a standard set of test cases has been created to test the conformance and functionality of any WXS data binding tool.
		In addition, the comparison between the input and output checks that no significant data or structure loss occurred in either step.
		This means that a large number of content models are supported and roundtrips well, but makes the code very difficult to use, since the user must know the appropriate content model, defeating the purpose of a generated type-safe API to a large degree.

	Comparing Linux/UNIX Binary Package Formats
		This is a comparison of the deb, rpm, tgz, slp, and pkg package formats, as used in the Debian, Red Hat, Slackware, and Stampede linux distributions respectively (pkg is the SVr4 package format, used in Solaris).
		This comparison deals only with the package formats, not with the various tools (dpkg, rpm, etc.), that are used to deal with and install the packages.
		Many of the comparisons above have little value in the face of this section, because new package programs, new metadata fields, etc can all be added to a scalable package format with little difficulty.

	PHP: Comparison Operators - Manual
		They are talked about a bit more in the sections on strpos() and array_search() but those sections refer you to the section on Booleans for further information.
		It does a recusrive comparison which fails if there are recusrive object references involved, and will report as identical two different object instances that happen to merely have the same value.
		This way of comparison is very common in other languages and it's cleaner than converting the values to strings.

	Comparing Python to Other Languages
		Comparisons to C++, Common Lisp and Scheme can also be enlightening.
		In practice, the choice of a programming language is often dictated by other real-world constraints such as cost, availability, training, and prior investment, or even emotional attachment.
		Since these aspects are highly variable, it seems a waste of time to consider them much for this comparison.

		You can, and probably do, use comparison and contrast to describe things, to define things, to analyze things, to make an argument -- to do, in fact, almost any kind of writing.
		This structure focuses on the comparison and contrast instead of on the two ideas (e.g., corsetry and footbinding) being compared and contrasted.
		Return to the discussion of how comparison and contrast can be used beyond structure for an essay.
