go into your wordpress admin and in setting box you will find Permalink Settings click the button next to Custom Structure then in the text box next to it add:

/%postname%/

this will give you what you are looking for.

If you don't mind using a plugin, then here is working one:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tentblogger-seo-categories/
Works fine with current wordpress version (3.1.3)

so you wanted to "strip off" the category base?

edit your .htaccess and append this

RewriteRule ^category/(.+)$ http://www.yourblog.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I don't know if that works...
