I just can't remember where I saw it.

Keeping in mind (memento mori) that life is, after all, a terminal illness (at least for the bag of meat-over-bones), does help keep one free of paranoia, although, for all I know, psychotropic medication may be necessary in your particular case.
Der Spiegel's recent exposé on NSA's elite hacker unit, TAO: [^].
Reportage on AP News:Quote: One of the most striking reported revelations concerned the NSA's alleged ability to spy on Microsoft Corp.'s crash reports, familiar to many users of the Windows operating system as the dialogue box which pops up when a game freezes or a Word document dies. The reporting system is intended to help Microsoft engineers improve their products and fix bugs, but Der Spiegel said the NSA was also sifting through the reports to help spies break into machines running Windows. One NSA document cited by the magazine appeared to poke fun at Microsoft's expense, replacing the software giant's standard error report message with the words: "This information may be intercepted by a foreign sigint (signals intelligence) system to gather detailed information and better exploit your machine." [^]
Why does the name "NewEgg" come to mind in this context, when reading (in the above) about how the NSA intercepts computer gear deliveries to install secret weirdness ?
“I'm an artist: it's self evident that word implies looking for something all the time without ever finding it in full. It is the opposite of saying : 'I know all about it. I've already found it.'
As far as I'm concerned, the word means: 'I am looking. I am hunting for it. I am deeply involved.'”

I guess the proper thing to say about NSA is where don't they look? I have a feeling nothing is sacred!
|

I have a feeling that: if anything is sacred, it would be the direct experience that nothing is sacred, but, I can't quite put my finger on it, since the act of observation changes it into something.
Happy New Year !

Was that originally written by someone named Heisenberg by any chance?

No, it was written by the overripe wetware-jelly analog computer in this sorry bag of meat-over-bones, whose linguistic japes are to Heisenberg's mentations as amoebae to spiral galaxies.
Werner did say: "Any concepts or words which have been formed in the past through the interplay between the world and ourselves are not really sharply defined with respect to their meaning: that is to say, we do not know exactly how far they will help us in finding our way in the world."
