At least from a 30 story building :)
Please check your physics. For the acceleration it
doesn't matter
what size the building is or if you just drop the
box
from your hands
to the ground.
It does however matter (a little) whether you drop
that box at one of
earths poles or near the equator. Gravity is a
little
different
because earth is not a perfect sphere.
I liked the first imac fitted with its handle to throw
it out the
window...
Have fun,

He probably meant it as "to be sure of the outcome" not "to
be sure the
accelaration works"
that's what I meant: if one neglects air resistance, v = sqrt(2gh), h being the height
and v the resulting free fall speed :) So the outcome would be more sure from a higher
initial point ... it was a (lame) follow up of an initially funny joke guys, don't be
so litteral! :D
