Ask questions about them and seem interested in what they are saying.

Some of the things I can remember right off the top are...
"It's a really nice day outside" or "It's hot outside" or "oh...it looks quite busy here!" "is that an accident?" anything you wish about the weather, or the environment around in which you both find yourselves in.
or...."I don't believe we have met. I am ____, and you?"
"Haven't see you before. Are you new here?"
"Do you work here"... "where?"
If you are feelin bold....you could compliment the person on their outfit, or a nice smile....or something. But make sure it is genuine.
If a person does not respond to your comment or conversation starter, leave them alone and don't take it too personally. But you have nothing to lose! Not many people actually start conversations even if they really want to. Smile, keep a positive attitude, and the day is yours.

Depends on where you are. Some preparation helps. If you are going to a party or a dance club or a bar, wear a t-shirt with a popular band name, especially if you've seen them in concert. The other person may break the ice first by commenting on your shirt. If you are on the street and intersted in a stranger, ask her for directions to bookstore/museum/coffee house. Getting a pet that you can walk around with also helps, just don't get anything scary like a tarantula unless that's the kind of girl you want to meet.

well at a bar hi IS best, but if you already know them then seriously just asking questions or even saying 'uhh i really dont know how to break the ice, but i want to' could be good

Hi is the best starter, then ask them a question about anything. don't try a slick comment... you will not likely be successful

Start asking questions back and forth - likes, dislikes, favorite foods, etc. It's worked for me so many times it's unbelievable!

What's the best advice you could or have received? That will tell you a little something about what they value in themselves and people in general.

embarass yourself, make them feel less awkward. purposefully trip right in front of her, then say something about how that was embarrasing and start laughing. she'll laugh (which is a good ice breaker) and there you go. it works everytime buddy.
