Gnuplot available point types

I keep forgetting the point types available in gnuplot and end up invoking the help each time I have to figure out which integer corresponds to which available point type. I have a real bad case of bad memory ( if that made any sense at all ). Anyways here is what you have to do. Invoke gnuplot at command prompt and issue the command:

Prevent autoplaying of youtube videos

This solution will buffer your youtube videos but won't play them automatically. This is nice if you open more than one youtube videos in multiple tabs. Here is what you have to do:
  1. Install the Greasemonkey extension in Firefox
  2. Restart Firefox
  3. Install the Youtube Buffer Video user script
That's it you are done !

Learn't this neat trick at this page :D
