    I run a multi-user wordpress installation and I'd like to completely disable file uploads. It would be better if I could specify which users can upload, but for the mometn I'd like to just stop them completely

    This isn't very user-friendly but you could certainly change permissions on the uploads folder to prevent files from being written to them.

    You can also try a role-management plug-in like Role Scoper, Role Manager, Adminimize or Capability Manager. I haven't used any of these personally so I can't recommend one in particular but you could experiment. Some may not be compatible with 3.3.1.

    As a third option, you could probably add a function to functions.php to disable the uploads button. Something like this - but I'm not sure if this is 3.3-compatible:
