Is the Large Hadron Collider being sabotaged from the future?

It might not necessarily be news (yet??) but I just love this story asking whether or not the Large Hadron Collider, plagued with problems over the last few months, is the target of time-travelers desperate to stop its attempts to find the Higgs-Boson.

Posted to current.com by Vierotchoka: Is the Large Hadron Collider Being Sabotaged From The Future?
The quest to observe the Higgs boson has certainly been plagued by its share of troubles, from the cancellation of the Superconducting Supercollider in 1993 to the Large Hadron Collider's streak of technical troubles. In fact, the projects have suffered such bad luck that Holger Bech Nielsen of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen and Masao Ninomiya of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics in Kyoto wonder if it isn't bad luck at all, but future influences rippling back to sabotage them. In papers like "Test of Effect From Future in Large Hadron Collider: a Proposal" and "Search for Future Influence From LHC," they put forth the notion that observing the Higgs boson would be such an abhorrent event that the future is actually trying to prevent it from happening.
