Higher education in computers in general

Hello all,

I would like to learn more about networking, hacking and basicaly anything there is to know about computers, I dont consider myself a nub with computers at all I type 123 words a minute play anywhere from 4 to 7 hours a day and know wat im doing fairly well, but I want to be able to consider myself as someone who is an expert at them. I want to be able to read one of those posts from a techie talking about mobos and truely understand it and see why that would or wouldnt work (I know the basics of video cards, cases etc etc but not to much). I want to be able to write websites, hack into complex security and just learn as much as possible. Next year I am taking C++ and Computer Graphics and im teaching myself HTML, next year is my sophmore year if you wondering. I dont seek knowlege to be malicious or an idiot and fuck other peoples computers for my own enjoyment... its more of the learning experience and wanting to know how the code and computer works. Ive gone to countless website fourms etc and seen all these 10 or 11 year old kids asking OMG ur a hack3r!? t34cH m3! Its not like that at all, if i do eventualy learn to be fairly good at hacking id like to be white-hat :0 work for the government or be hired to hack into peoples companys and tell them the flaws. Any helps or a starting point is appriciated for any of the topics I said i was interested in.... HTML seems fairly easy and more of memirazation than anything else thats what im currently working on.... but a link to a good walkthrough or a few websites for those topics would be cool .... or if u write on here thatd be even better...

All help appriciated, you can post here or IM me at wmsrm59, e-mail at wmsrm59@entouch.net or catch me on irc.gamesurge.net #projectx name will be |WUTANG| Rgr
