Unlike DTL, a small “ collector ” current ( approximately 10µA ) is drawn by each of the inputs.

Unlike a graph, however, the number of semitones represented by a vertical step from a line to an adjacent space depends on the key, and the exact timing of the beginning of each note is not directly proportional to its horizontal position ; rather, exact timing is encoded by the musical symbol chosen for each note in addition to the tempo.

Unlike other operating systems, the file naming hierarchy is independent of the location of a file on a particular tape or disk volume.

Unlike in the UNIX world, where different file extensions are used, when linking against file in Windows one must first know if it is a regular static library or an import library.

Unlike diff, the process of creating a delta file has two steps: first a signature file is created from file A, and then this ( relatively small ) signature and file B are used to create the delta file.

Unlike junction points, a symbolic link can also point to a file or remote Server Message Block ( SMB ) network path.

Unlike the de facto standard Mbox format, which stored all messages in a single file, Maildir avoids many locking and concurrency problems, and can safely be provisioned over NFS.

Unlike the British system of recording all births in " registers ", the states file an individual document for each and every birth.

Unlike CGI ( and most other web application environments ), mod_perl provides complete access to the Apache API, allowing programmers to write handlers for all phases in the Apache request cycle, manipulate Apache's internal tables and state mechanisms, share data between Apache processes or threads, alter or extend the Apache configuration file parser, and add Perl code to the configuration file itself, among other things.
