that is actually not a breadboard, the stuff is soldered :)

It is still technically called a breadboard. The other type of breadboard you are thinking of is a "solderless breadboard." Original breadboards date back to the days before printed circuits when people would stick component leads through holes drilled in a piece of wood or some other material and wire them together.
Isn't 'stripboard' the technical term for the soldered type of prototyping board (often known as veroboard in the UK)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stripboard

I've only heard the term breadboard being applied to the solderless prototyping boards (and the old school point to point type).

oh, I didn't know that :) in the context I've heard it, people usually referred to the solderless one
hhaha:)
