A note -- if you're linking to arXiv, it's better to link to the abstract (http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9908043, or http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9908043v3 for this particular version) rather than directly to the PDF. From the abstract, one can easily click through to the PDF; not so the reverse. And the abstract allows one to do things like see different versions of the paper, search for other things by the same authors, etc. Thank you!

I thought about it at first, then decided against it. I wouldn't mind a moderator change the link to point to the abstract, if that's the norm.

If anyone wants another overview other than the abstract, pls refer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limits_to_computation

Why did you decide against it?

Primarily because I come across a lot of non-html content like presentations that don't link to the abstract, but to the slides themselves.

For instance,
