How about un-registered computing?  Kind of like off-the-grid, but not 
exactly...

Subject: prize for a good replacement for "baseless"

In  the future "baseless", always an ugly term embodying a dubious pun, will 
need explanation.  It will be as helpful as a description of a modern 
automobile as "crankless".

To find a better term I have appointed myself to run a contest.  The prize for 
the best suggested term, the one about which a consensus emerges, is a book of 
the winner's choice, its cost not to exceed US$50|£40|€32.
