Absolutely not; uncertainty does not go out the window. On the contrary, quantum effects become observable at the macro level in the form of the bizarre Bose-Einstein Condensate. The Bose-Einstein Condensate has been created in the lab by several people. This question highlights something wonderful. Particle physics views particles as particles in the ordinary sense. A particle is a contained, coherent object, with dimensions and other characteristics of matter. The uncertainty principle doesn't have to do with developing better technology or better measurement techniques. It has to do with the fundamental property of matter that some "particles" are not what they seem. Einstein reasoned (this is a non-professional summary) that if the quantum explanation of matter is correct, then something else would have to happen at absolute zero other than 'fixed' locations of sub-atomic particles. He came up with an answer that was decades ahead of its time. Inspired by the work of Bose, Einstein worked his way to the Bose-Einstein Condensate, which was actually produced seventy years after Bose' and Einstein's insight. In a way, because at absolute zero all "particles" go to the lowest possible energy potential, the Condensate becomes a single fuzzy, cloudy blob-like atom; all particles become as if they are one particle.

A boy is throwing a stone at a girl's window 3m high 10 meters from the house If the stone is thrown at 15ms at an angle of 31 degrees to the ground will he hit the window?

We need 1 more piece of information, the size of the window. I will be treating the window as 1 m tall. So the window is 2.5 meters off the throwing plane (the bottom of the window) to 3.5 meters off the throwing plane (top of the window). I am also assuming that the window's height is based on how high it is above the throwing plane of your arm (if that is the height off the ground, we also need to know how tall you are). The rock will hit 2.676 meters above the throwing plane so it will hit the bottom portion of the window (as seeing as the window goes from 2.5 meters to 3.5 meters).
