I nominate a excerpt from John Cage's (in)famous 4'33"
(for those not familiar with it, it's an avant-garde piece consisting of
4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence).

other operating systems as anything other than an annoyance for others
and an embarassment for the computer owner.
We can do better by keeping the speaker silent by default.
