Answer 2

You only get 110 characters to work with so that you are forced to use your brain to narrow down the question a little bit.
Unlimited characters cause people to just ramble on.

You get 1000 extra characters to add details to your question, but a long question implies lack of effort on your part.

Answer 3

You only have 110 character to work with in the title line, but do not forget that below that you have the details box in which you are able to add more info for your question.

Answer 4

The 110 limitation is only for the "Title" of your question. It is designed to be a summary of your full query. This way people can look at the listing of questions and in that brief synopsis decide if your question appeals to them enough to read about it further. If we were all forced to look at everyones questions in entirety this site would quickly lose interest as it would not be nearly as entertaining to use.
