Ditto, screens can handle more than 80 chars per line nowadays (and it's even 
quite a few years since I've last seen a display with <1024 horizontal 
resolution). It's not a good idea to write a line from one end of a screen to 
the other on a 27'' display, but 80 chars is really insane.

80 chars is useful to keep for readability of documentation, but not in code.
