About the 79 character line recommendation

Hello,

for me the 80 (or 79) char border when writing code is a fundamental
rule. Being at University and having to document each project on paper,
it is a must do. i.e. I get code from fellow scolars, that have 160
chars per line, and to get that on paper is disgusting, especially in
C/C++. So please, stay true to that.

And don't forget those, who actually view source code in a terminal.

:-)
