That depends upon who you talk to. Around here it's pretty much up for grabs. There are those here who think shoulder blade-length is still considered short.
However, most employers I know consider "long hair" for men to be that which falls below the earlobes on the sides and the neck in back. Any more than that and it's "grounds for discussion."
As for me, mine is about 1-2 inches below the shoulders. I'm looking to go for another 3-4 inches before deciding if that's where I want to "level off" or keep going.
Hope this helps.
Keep on growin'!

Waist length or longer. Shorter than that I consider to be short.

I'd say the ability to touch a nipple with the tip of any lock of hair (only valid for men :P )

For me, long is highly subjective and time-variant. It is always referenced to the longest hair that I had before. Any length shorter than that is considered short.
Hence, having fully recovered the length that I had 2 years ago, which was sacrificed to the military, I'd consider my current length (and any other guys with mine or longer) "long" :))

Here's how I judge a guy's long hair when I see it:
Shoulder Length ---- Barely long.
Bottom-of Shoulder-Blades Length ---- Somewhat Long
Middle-of-Back Length ---- Long
Waist Length ---- Longer
Below Waist Length ---- Really Cool! (I'd be very envious)
Knee Length ---- Awesome!! (never seen any this long, though)
Below Knee Length ---- Hey, I can dream, can't I?

all is relative. When I had short hair I considered someone with shoulder hair as long haired. Today my hair is even longer and since I wear it mostly in a pony tail, I even do not consider myself having really long hair.

short answer: shoulder length or longer.
the definition will vary from person to person.
