I would like to download the dataset, but I cannot. I do not have any idea what happened. The link is broken?

Please let me know how to download it.

Thanks. :)

@flip How on Earth did you get the answers from every student on the TAAS? LOL I imagine they must have scrapped the exam and put a new one in place? Standardized testing usually has nearly Fort Knox security.

Hi Flip,

I’ve bookmarked the site and am perusing it now, might play with some of the stocks, and get playing with Flex or something to graph them.

If size and interestingness is what you’re after I can hook you up with a bunch of big datasets besides this one.

Here are some of the funner ones: 30 years’ daily stock market open/close/low/hi/volume; 50 years’ global hourly weather; the Enron email corpus; every MLB baseball game outcome, plus every play of every game for 40 years, plus the trajectory and game state for every pitch thrown in 2008 and most of 2007; answers to every question by every student (grades 3-11) on the Texas state exam for the past 5 years; a wealth of large text corpora; others. For silly transitional reasons not all are indexed yet on infochimps, but if you email me (flip at infochimps org) with the structure you’re after I can recommend something from the extended menu.

Let us know how you get on.

We are looking for some large datasets to play with, good visuals and helps give the servers a workout.
