how do i became computar literate?

On a serious note, how would I go about doing this? I'm not saying I'm a complete fucktard with computers, but I want to learn more than I already do. Lately, I've been wanting to get into programming again (before it didn't work out, because I didn't know anything about hardware), but this time I want to actually know what I'm doing. I know all the basics (TCP/IP, hardware, etc). What should I look at to learn more stuff?

help appreciated.

What, then, are you trying to achieve?  You could get the boo "code - the secret language of computers" or the "art of electronics" and the "art of electronics - lab manual" and build a machine.

Building the machine means you really know what registers and addresses are and sorts shit out.

Find some open source project with bugs and fix those bugs?

Find some open source project, find the bugs, and then fix the bugs you found?

Try fuzzing (or whatever it's called) to discover security flaws.
