Alcaeus himself seems to underscore the difference between his own ' down-to-earth ' style and Sappho's more ' celestial ' qualities when he describes her almost as a goddess ( as cited above ), and yet it has been argued that both poets were concerned with a balance between the divine and the profane, each emphasising different elements in that balance.

When one manuscript has a difference compared to 99 % of the others, it is understood to be a copyist's mistake.

Some thinkers, for instance, have argued that the difference between fine art and applied art has more to do with the actual function of the object than any clear definitional difference.

Although it has been known for a while that the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara flow into each other in an example of a density flow, findings of a study by the University of Leeds in August 2010 reveal that there is in fact an underwater channel of high density water flowing across the floor of the Bosphorus ( caused by the difference in density of the two seas ), which would be the sixth largest river on Earth if it were to be on land.

The distinctions also reflect an important and significant technical difference between memory and mass storage devices, which has been blurred by the historical usage of the term storage.

In modern systems the performance difference between the CPU and main memory has grown so great that increasing amounts of high-speed memory is built directly into the CPU, known as a cache.

The difference between the avalanche diode ( which has a reverse breakdown above about 6. 2 V ) and the Zener is that the channel length of the former exceeds the mean free path of the electrons, so there are collisions between them on the way out.

This definition of potential, while formal, has little practical application, and a more useful concept is that of electric potential difference, and is the energy required to move a unit charge between two specified points.

An electric field has the special property that it is conservative, which means that the path taken by the test charge is irrelevant: all paths between two specified points expend the same energy, and thus a unique value for potential difference may be stated.

DeWitt's phrase " many-worlds " has become so much more popular than Everett's " Universal Wavefunction " or Everett-Wheeler's " Relative State Formulation " that many forget that this is only a difference of terminology ; the content of both of Everett's papers and DeWitt's popular article is the same.

Since the difference between the U. S. and International acre is only about a quarter of the size of an A4 sheet of paper ( 0. 016 square metres, 160 square centimetres or 24. 8 square inches ), it is usually not important which one is being discussed.

The difference between the arguments from causation in fieri and in esse is a fairly important one.

It is just a question of usage, and there is no specific, important physical difference between them.

In terms of raw computational power, the Dragon beat most of its contemporary rivals based on the older MOS Technology 6502, but this made little difference in a market where graphical capabilities and games were much more important to consumers.

Even more important: a difference generally implies positive terms between which the difference is set up ; but in language there are only differences without positive terms.

In American law, particularly after Brown v. Board of Education ( 1954 ), the difference between de facto segregation ( segregation that existed because of the voluntary associations and neighborhoods ) and de jure segregation ( segregation that existed because of local laws that mandated the segregation ), became important distinctions for court-mandated remedial purposes.

However, there is an important difference.

The most important difference is that fields allow for division ( though not division by zero ), while a ring need not possess multiplicative inverses ; for example the integers form a ring, but 2x = 1 has no solution in integers.

While some people prefer to link the two ideas of “ open source software ” and “ free software ” together, it is important to understand the difference because they offer two separate ideas and values.
