AUP - Another Useless Paper aka Acceptable Use Policy.
Document declaring that anything a user does is illegal, immoral, or
fattening when done on your network. Typically used as a last resort
for dealing with serial miscreants.

Bah! You are not anywhere near as offensive as the users that waste my
time with this garbage. I would much rather participate in verbal tort
/ retort with you than have to rip out somebody's I.E. because they were
downloading Britney Spears screen savers and got their machine hijacked
because 4 security certificates popped up warning them the Active X
control they were being asked to install was a security risk and then
the employee clicks yes on all 4 of them anyway.
No offense taken. Thanks for the link.
Bonus question: How many AUP violations were there in the above
paragaph? :)

No offence was intended.
There are lots of hammers here:

There are also good tools at isatools.org for controlling access.
