If your code includes lines longer than 80 chars, then you're severely retarded. Consider eradicating yourself to stop wasting humanity's resources.

Because Sussman programs in Elephant 2000:

i.e. Sussman just says "take that last photo I made and increase the brightness of each pixel by 50%", instead of writing

for Pixel in get_lastest_file_from("/Users/Sussman/Documents/Photos/").open_as_image.to_pixels: output(Pixel.boost_brightness(50))

So does my VT100. I wonder where the 80-char meme came from. It seriously makes reading mails from retards that use hard-line breaks on the 80-char length painful.

Earlier engineers were smarter - they knew that human attention span can cover just so many chars.

that also comes from 80 column punch cards. 8 spots would be used for serial number so if you dropped the deck you could put it throgh a sorting machine, leaving 72.
