under algorithms, 'able to identify NP problems', not very useful, it will never happen in your life time.
under languages with professional experience, 'Prolog', not required.
under frameworks, 'Author of framework' (non-trivial): a rare bird, salary = 110000+ USD

There are 32 entries: anybody that scores level 3 at 20+ entries is an outstanding person.

Nothing on Javascript, HTML, HTTP.

Hmm, I've never actually considered myself particularly unique or outstanding, but I'm at over 20 of those. So I guess I'd have to disagree with you.

It's an interesting matrix, nonetheless, and it may factor in to my future hiring practices in some form.

Being able to identify an NP problem can be quite useful ... my reading is that it's not about solving it, but simply about knowing when you have one on your hands. The Travelling Salesman Problem pops up in a number of areas (I've hit it with recommendation engines, for example). Similarly with subset sum.

Doesn't dzone prevent duplicate posts?

No not really. There is a filter but its not very effective really at preventing dups.

Scott Hanselmann's tool list isn't the discriminator I would use to determine who is a hot developer. I don't think knowledge of AutoHotKey is all that important. You're kind of an idiot. :( Thanks for trying though.
