Success for open source is when the term ‘open source’ becomes a non-factor in the decision making process, when people hear about Linux and compare it to Windows NT, and they compare it on the feature set and don’t have much of an excuse not to use it.
I am still learning every day not to watch other people’s careers and compare.
You cannot compare your athletic achievement to the importance of children and giving them a safe environment in which to grow up and enjoy life.

It’s hard when people ask me to walk in a different way than I would naturally. I don’t think my walk is particularly elegant if you compare it to other girls, but it fits my personality.
I used to be offended when people would compare me to Erykah Badu. Because I’m black, thick, and have large lips? There’s nothing similar about us whatsoever, and I felt very disrespected by the fact that people needed to pigeonhole me. I wasn’t even raised on Erykah Badu!
For the exploitation of human greed, they have devised comparison and competition. Right from childhood on, we are indoctrinated to compare and compete, and there is a word, a phrase: ‘free and fair competition.’
Nobody sells books like J.K. Rowling. We have a rule in publishing: Never compare anything to ‘Harry Potter’ because it’s like lightning in a bottle.

To compare the albums is like trying to compare apples and oranges.
If we compare the two, Facebook is currently a superior place to market a product like Slide. Twitter is more like a general distribution agent. It’s like broadcast radio.
In other words, unlike some people with new theories, we will go out, we’ll go into a school and we get products and the products are evaluated, whether it’s by teachers or others. The scores are quantified and then we compare performances.

Anybody who wants to compare Pele to any other athlete… do you know what I do? I hear but I don’t listen.
Writing is a question of finding a certain rhythm. I compare it to the rhythms of jazz. Much of the time life is a sort of rhythmic progression of three characters. If one tells oneself that life is like that, one feels it less arbitrary.
Like politics, all status is ultimately local – people compare themselves to those they live near.
When you talk about the oil wealth you compare nations. There are some nations with less than five million people. Nigeria has 150 million people.

There is no teaching to compare with example.
It’s funny. People often compare me to other humor essayists. They’re usually quite nice comparisons; I will accept those gladly. But I am always sort of appalled at the idea of being lumped with other, more chick-y female writers. And the truth is probably that neither comparison is accurate.
Judgment is very easy, but I think, on the whole, professional critics maybe see too much, and compare too much, and forget the joy of actually looking and contemplating for its own sake.

The learning from my entire career is: never compare yourself to anyone because it’ll destroy you.

How can you compare ‘Hollywood Shuffle,’ financed through the director’s credit cards, and ‘Apocalypse Now?’ You have to take into consideration the conditions under which it was made.
I suggested that we might compare earthquakes in terms of the measured amplitudes recorded at these stations, with an appropriate correction for distance.
When you are developing something, you have to look at it individually. You can’t compare and contrast it to the projects around it, because that way madness lies.
It definitely has learning a lesson about the way you’re living your life. I wouldn’t compare our movie to that, but it has a structure where it’s about a man who doesn’t appreciate all that he has and finds out at the end that life has been great and he has to enjoy that.
And I’m comfortable being who I am, so I think a lot of people who take over from a founder worry about how they compare to the founder; I worry about doing the best I can.

To compare Tensegrity with yoga or t’ai chi is not possible. It has a different origin and a different purpose. The origin is shamanic, the purpose is shamanic.

I’m not gonna say that I hate it, because I really respect Usher and I was influenced by him. But so many people compare me to him, and I don’t think it’ll ever stop. I just want to be my own artist.
You will never have the perfect body, and to sit there and compare yourself to another person or what someone else likes – we’re the only people that have control of our body. We’re the only people that live inside of our body 24/7.
Compare yourself to yourself and say, ‘How can I be better? How can I be the real me?’
I don’t know who I can compare my style to because I listen to everybody from old to new. If I hear stuff that I like, I’ll definitely gravitate to it and spin it in my own way. I’m a mixture of a lot of people, honestly, but I’m myself.
When you compare individuals, rather than countries, you find that education improves both income and the quality of life.
I don’t compare myself with anybody.

I have been fortunate to be able to have a career playing comedy and drama. And it’s awfully hard – it’s like apples and pears to compare the two.
It’s not my place to compare myself to greats like Tyson, Frazier or men like that. But I would look at a fighter like Evander Holyfield. He’s a great heavyweight who worked his way up through the weight classes to become champion and had to beat bigger men along the way.
It’s never good to compare yourself to anyone, whether it’s professional or personal. There is always somebody better, more talented and powerful out there. There is no point of getting sucked into all that.
I often heard Latvians compare Russia and America. Latvians find both countries and their leaders possessed of the same mysterious confidence.
‘Goon’ is very much an action – it’s got a lot of heart, it’s got a lot of comedy, it’s got a lot of similarities to what I think was successful in ‘Deadpool,’ and so I think it’s not a stretch to compare those two things and say the world is a little more ready than they used to be for this kind of material.
I learned to speak first, and then to sign. I have never really known what it was like to hear, so I can’t compare hearing aids to normal hearing.
Would physics at Geneva be as good as physics at Harvard? I think not. Rome? I think not. In Britain, I don’t think there is one place, neither Cambridge nor Oxford, which can compare with Harvard.

Researchers can measure what kind of angles your legs take up during the day when they’re just trailing around behind you in weightless conditions, and what kind of impacts you feel during your exercise. They’re going to compare that with what we do on the ground.
