comment Finding unit tangent, normal, and binormal vectors for a given r(t)
You are most welcome. Don't rush to do this, in case you get a better answer from someone else, but it is good practice to mark the best answer you receive as "accepted" by clicking the checkmark next to it.

comment Finding unit tangent, normal, and binormal vectors for a given r(t)
Welcome to Mathematica.SE! I have formatted some code for you. This page explains how to do it. You might want to consider a more memorable username? Also, if you register your account, any reputation points you get on this or subsequent questions or answers will cumulate, no matter where you log in from.

I think it's best closed as a dupe of mathematica.stackexchange.com/q/18393/8

comment how to work with list as function parameter
Your main issues are your syntax (you've missed the underscore in the function definition) and the use of unnecessary For loops.

comment How to install the Wolfram Workbench plugin into Eclipse Kepler?
This works fine on OS X 10.8.2, thanks Rolf. But what are the advantages of this version of Eclipse for Mathematica development?

comment How can I improve Mathematica's resolution on a macbook retina display?
Uh, lobby Wolfram to release a retina-ready update?

You are plotting p not the Partitioned expression.

comment How to efficiently import videos
Welcome to Mathematica.SE, Vilis! I have added a little code formatting to make your question easier to read. If you would like to know more about formatting posts, see this short guide. Don't forget to mark the answer that helped you most as "accepted" by clicking the checkmark on the left-hand side of the post.

comment Calculate one-tailed critical point from a probability distribution
Dear Kasper, the community has seriously downvoted you on this question because of the way it was asked and the fact that this was something you could have easily looked up in the Mathematica documentation. I have edited your question to be a bit less demanding in tone, and would encourange you to phrase your future questions on Mathematica.SE in a similar way, and to show what you tried. That said, welcome to Mathematica.SE and I hope that you find the site useful in future.

comment How can I make my code simpler?
Better in what way? Shorter? Easier for Mathematica novices to understand?

comment How could I implement the equivalent of NextPrime
Welcome to Mathematica.SE, Robert. What have you tried? It is preferable if you show some effort in working out your problem for yourself, and give some indication of where you got stuck. Please see the FAQ for more details.

@MikeHoneychurch - I guess so.

comment How can I get Mathematica to include size information in exported SVG?
I'm not sure what you mean by "scale". If I open an SVG exported from Mathematica in IE9, it definitely "scales" when I zoom up and down using the mousewheel. Did you have something other than that in mind?

comment Loop inside For[] does not work
Do you need the P1 and P2 definitions? I can't see where they are subsequently used.

comment Rayleigh Criterion
Welcome to Mathematica.SE! I think you would find it useful to review the documentation and basic tutorials. Mathematica uses square brackets for functions so your f1 and f2 definitions have the wrong syntax. Also, it is not good practice to use uppercase single letters to name expressions as they can clash with built-in functions. Try using lower case f instead.

comment Are you interested in purchasing David Wagner's “Power programming with Mathematica”?
A bit late to the party, but I would defintely like to buy a copy. I already bought it when it came out, but it was "borrowed".

comment Can mathematica solve this equation?
Well, I am not a mathematician, but you have three variables each raised to up to the second power, so that is more complex/higher-order than a single variable raised to the second power, which is what I'd call a second-order polynomial. Try substituting in numbers for the a, b and c coefficients and see if you get a result then, using NSolve.

comment Grid layout problems: different sizes when rendering on Mac and Windows
Do you really need it to be the exact same number of pixels or show the same amount of text? Since Windows uses more pixels to show text of the same point size, don't you actually want your grid to consume more pixels on Windows?

comment Can mathematica solve this equation?
You're welcome. To format code, just select the block of code and press the button that looks like { }. Or put four or more spaces at the beginning of each line. More info here.

@SjoerdC.deVries whoops, sorry, need more coffee!
