#3  tip: to avoid browser 'crashes when opening PDF files use: Foxit.
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/downloads/index.php
It's free and you need very little memory use to open a PDF file with it.

#2  gromky, you can check for yourself. Just position your cursor over the headline without clicking - you should see the URL. (In Internet Explorer it displays at the bottom of the window. I don't have other browsers on this machine to check the location they use.)

If the URL ends in .pdf than you can avoid linking on it. If you still want to read the article, in Windows you can right click on it and choose the 'save target as' option to save the file directly to disk. Then open it at your leisure with the Acrobat reader, avoiding your browser entirely.
