      True, but the guy who fixed it is an EU researcher in CS in Canada. I highly doubt he did it for the money. He seems to be into puzzles. It sucks that Lenovo did not compensate him though.

      First of all, it says it took a month of time from when he posted the initial bounty, not a month of labour… Maybe it took less. Anyway if someone has this sort of skills, they should make good money anywhere.
