Set a vertical bar that indicates the column that shall not be passed. I use 8-char wide tabs on the few codebases at work that use tabs, while everyone else seems to use 4 (because these particular projects obey "tabs for indent, spaces for align" either displays perfectly). I obey my vertical bar and always fall short.
Other peoples code will sometimes go over on my screen.... but who cares? If I found that a particularly offensive situation, I would just adjust my settings accordingly.

OK, I'm biting; Using spaces instead of tabs is like using hard coded syntax coloring. I prefer my own color scheme thank you.
How do you handle line length limits? Or are there no line length limits in any of the codebases you work on?

Tabs have a length of 1.
