Talk:Bloomberg Terminal

message: I do not want to access Bloomberg over the internet, but to provide a dedicated line for my users. Can anybody tell me what dedicated bandwidth would be required to run Bloomberg terminals for 4 users?
:Why are you asking on a wikipedia discussion page. Call up Bloomberg's sales dept. Or look on their web page http://www.bloomberg.com/professional/content/uploads/sites/4/Transport_Security_Specification_60.pdf
-- Almost all Bloomberg access is provided via leased lines direct to the Bloomberg network and not over the internet. I think there is a minimum of 2meg ..  but Call Bloomberg sales the number is on their website ... 
I really can't believe that people still buy this overpriced shit. Getting data via http://www.interactivedata.com/ is much cheaper.
-- I cant believe someone would post such an opinion on a wikipedia discussion page how is that relevant..

replies: text: Some of it dates back to the late eighties, and the code and architecture still bears signs of it's Perkin Elmer roots. It's moved to a mixture of large Sun and IBM Unix servers now. There are tens of millions of lines of code, much is Fortran and C, though almost all new development is done is C++ and has been for some time.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomalpha (talk • contribs) 10:08, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I worked for the losing vendor at the time (1983 or 1984), Digital Equipment, and thought then, don't they know that Interdata-Perkin Elmer was about to exit the computer business with the spinoff called Concurrent Computer Corporation?  Of course, Digital itself merged with Compaq in 1998. patsw (talk) 00:58, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Concerning the book published by iUniverse, this same source had been used in the Michael Bloomberg article, and while a better source may be preferable, surely a weak source is better than no source at all. Would you allow me to restore the content with  until a better source can be found? --Bsherr (talk) 22:04, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: , That's an argument for removing it from the other article, not including it here. Vanity presses are not appropriate sources. Especially on an article like the one on Bloomberg himself, which is a WP:BLP. Guy (help!) 22:09, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not suggesting the source is appropriate. But I can't simply remove the source and leave the information I am copying from Michael Bloomberg, because that would be plagiarism. I'm only suggesting that an inappropriate source is better than no source, and that it would be better to tag it than to leave the status quo, which is statements with no sourcing at all in a BLP article. Isn't the latter worse? --Bsherr (talk) 22:18, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

text: Trusting you're willing to be patient, I've restored it, and will work to find a better source. --Bsherr (talk) 22:38, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
