How could I make a table wide (like using table*) in a twocolumn-mode document, that can break a page?
Below the expected result (made in any ordinary text editor).

UPDATE
By following a suggestion of using multicols and longtable, this is the achieved output. In the first page it seems ok, but after break, the multicol environment is not followed accordingly.
\documentclass[final,5p,times,twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\newcount\n
\n=0
\def\tablebody{}
\makeatletter
\loop\ifnum\n<50
\advance\n by1
\protected@edef\tablebody{\tablebody
\textbf{\number\n.}& shortText & longlonglonglonglong text
longlonglonglonglong text
\tabularnewline
}
\repeat
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-10]
\begin{multicols}{2}
\end{multicols}
\begin{longtable}{|l|l|l|}
\caption[Triple columns]{Triple columns.}\\
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\textbf{Time (s)}} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Triple chosen}} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Other feasible triples}} \\
\hline
\endfirsthead
\multicolumn{3}{c}%
{{\bfseries \tablename\ \thetable{} -- continued from previous page}} \\
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\textbf{Time (s)}} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Triple chosen}} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{Other feasible triples}} \\
\hline
\endhead
\hline
\multicolumn{3}{|r|}{{Continued on next page}} \\
\hline
\endfoot
\hline \hline
\endlastfoot
\tablebody
\end{longtable}
\end{document}
