(Reuters/Zogby) - Tampering with computers and the Internet should be charged as a felony, most Americans said in a recent nationwide survey. A Zogby America poll of 1,155 adults showed that 64.2% of respondents strongly agreed that interfering with Internet services should be considered a felony and punished severely. Another 24.1% somewhat agreed while a combined 8.3% strongly or somewhat disagreed. What we asked: ``How strongly do you agree or disagree that computer hacking, which disrupts Internet services provided by a company, should be considered a felony and a severely punished crime, strongly agree, somewhat agree, somewhat disagree, or strongly disagree?'' *==============================================================* "Communications without intelligence is noise; Intelligence without communications is irrelevant."
