Talk:Bloomberg Terminal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 no one on a wikipedia discussion page. Call up Bloomberg's sales dept.

I really can't believe that people still buy this overpriced shit. Getting data via http://www.interactivedata.com/ is much cheaper.

How old is this technology? When was it introduced? Drutt 09:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

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)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg

Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Wow, I just posed this question at Talk:Bloomberg L.P.... --84.20.185.61 21:22, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

It is around about $1,500 a month. If you want the Trading System as well, you need five terminals and an extra $200,000 a year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.74.203.254 (talk) 23:39, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
