comment How can this image (optical illusion) be created with Mathematica?
@Mr.Wizard actually I am breaking protocols. Haven't been here for quite a while and saw this and wondered if it could be done -- or similar -- with Mma but had no idea about how I might start. Given I have not made any attempt it is ok to remove it. It is mainly a curiosity. Mike

comment Automating sequential import of data from web
if you're testing for a numeric last element presumably {__,_?NumericQ} would suffice as the pattern?

comment Solving a tridiagonal system of linear equations using the Thomas algorithm
@xslittlegrass If you use "straight out" procedural code in Mma it will be very slow relative to functional code. Using Compile can alleviate this relative slowness. If you are new to Mma probably best to learn functional ways ...like bill s answer.

comment How to change default settings of cell formatting?
Default settings for font sizes and appearance in cells are due to the default stylesheet. If you want to depart from default settings regularly, without manually setting these parameters with the options inspector, then you will have to make a new stylesheet and use that with your notebooks. There are many stylesheet related answers here that cover how to do this.

comment Vertical “fractions” with more than 2 parts
my suggestion is really just rounding out your answer. Doesn't warrant a separate answer.

comment Vertical “fractions” with more than 2 parts
For ScriptSizeMultipliers less than one you might like to also add ScriptMinSize. Also ScriptLevel -> 1 may or may not be preferrable. The OP might like to try it out.

comment How do I remove Wolfram Branding in a CDF?
@Murta The information I was given by wolfram was that CDF enterprise users had 24 hour tech support. However I didn't read the fine print -- so maybe this means you can ask a question 24/7 but it doesn't mean you get an answer any faster :)

How do you mean? Am I misreading the question? I thought he wanted the mesh to go (??)

@Szabolcs I knew that was out there somewhere. I had the method written down in my "scrapbook" of tips and tricks but not the source.

comment TabView resets to default when selecting data using Control object
@kguler looks like an exact duplicate. I voted to close the earlier one rather than this one because the earlier one has no activity.

comment TabView resets to default when selecting data using Control object
You're over cooking it. No need for a dynamic around the tab view as far as I can see -- admittedly after very brief look. Just do this at the end TabView[{"Introduction" -> "IntroPage", "Fuel & Energy" -> Column[{Grid[{{YearHead, GenHead, MetricHead}, {DropDownYear, DropDownGenerator, DropDownMetric}}], Column[{HeadingTab2, MOYGraph}, Alignment -> Center]}, Alignment -> Left], "Generator Loading" -> "Tab3"}, 1]
