Lines:
it appears that sylar has to kill people to absorb their powers while peter does not. and i'm not quite sure if sylar has a limit to how many he can absorb. but other than that, yes, they are pretty similar.

im_a _hellion:
maybe its just that he is psycotic and doesnt think that he can use them until they r dead

Tyler:
No. Sylar most certainly needs to kill them to use their powers. He obviously has to take something from their brain. Whereas Peter is empathic, and his genes themselves change when around other people, and appear to then "remember" the changes.

guywithoutsocks:
Right, Sylar didn't originally have any special abilities of his own.  I have missed a few episodes, so I could be wrong, but I don't know that they've ever showed exactly what Sylar does to take another's special ability.  I don't think the specifics are that important outside of the process being fatal; I would imagine it's graphic enough that we've probably seen as much as we're going to, given that it airs on NBC.

thepugs:
They don't say how it is in particular that he absorbs powers, but it looks like his original power was seeing inside something to know what is broken.  When he stole the telekinesis from the first person he killed, he looked at them and said something like, "I can see your brain.  It's broken."
