Search for Higgs "God Particle" Gets Interesing 392

holy_calamity writes "The Large Hadron Collider is in trouble again. It will start work sometime in spring 2008, not November this year as planned. The delay has been blamed on an 'accumulation of minor setbacks,' and comes on top of a 'design fault' that saw breakdown of magnets supplied by the competing Fermilab. Yesterday Slate nicely rounded up increasingly loud rumors among physicists that Fermilab may already have seen the Higgs particle, the 'holy grail of particle physics' the LHC was build to find."

I think there was prior art. Compuserv modified the gif format to handle multable images back in 1989.

As anything on the internet is on demand. If it can be proven that animated gifs were used in web pages before Acacia filed for its patents. Their patents on compress video on demand will become void
