EU dystopia watch

Via Madville, EU Dystopia Watch:

Trapeze artists with one of the world's most famous circuses have been told to start wearing hard hats to comply with new EU safety rules.

Jugglers, tightrope walkers and other acrobats with the Moscow State Circus, which is currently touring Britain, have also been instructed to don safety head wear because of European regulations covering workers employed at heights greater than the average stepladder.

"It is bureaucracy gone mad, with a lot of help from the current compensation culture," said Paul Archer, general manager of the circus.

"This is just another loony law from Brussels and we are the only country stupid enough to pay any attention."

Portable filesystem operations in C++

Argh! What's the portable way to create directories and test for their existence using C++? Please tell me I don't have to shell out system commands specific to the OS?

Hmm... Hmm...
