# +you're too much of a pedant
he has appeard on tv as himself, thus he is 'near enough' an actor for me

test motherboards easily by dousing them in boiling hot soapy water and them test it

# unfortunately that's not really a guarantee
I have a board from 1997, hell I've got a machine from 1991, both work perfectly

board bought in 2003 lasted about 2 years before losing it

another board giving signs of badness after a few months, pretty random unless you go for a very high end manufacturer
