ask them about them the more you know the better

what i do is kinda simple...in my job...i travel frequently, spend long time on the road and so forth...during these travels i come into contact with all sorts of people...with the majority being people i am meeting for the first time..
well first step would be to SMILE...you see a smile is always repaid with another smile...when ppl smile, we immediately feel more open, feel friendlier
then comes the ice breaker...if its too hard to find something to talk about...introduce yourself a little bit...not too much...we dont want to bore the other person to death do we...ask simple questions which will not intrude the other persons privacy...just simple questions such as their names...what they do...etc
the magic of it...would be to simply NOT plan the conversation...no "if he says this...i say that" none of that...just let the conversation flow naturally...
also do observe the body language of the other person...if he/she starts to move away its a sign of being uncomfortable...so back off a bit and apologize...
just be natural and smile...rest will come easy from there

I usually bring a friend that knows the person, that can keep the conversation alive, but if I don't have that luxury, I will be honest and say "I don't know a lot about you, so I may ask some questions." I blunt like that. Usually I will ask about sports or hobbies and go from there.

That's an easy one for me. Just find a common ground and talk. You'd be surprised how easy-going most people will be about chatting with a stranger if you have a common interest.

start by asking how are you today....then depending on their answer you can go from there. Feel them out. They may not even feel like talking, or perhaps they couldn't wait for you to say something. It's all about energy.

I suggest that you compliment them on something. Get the other person to talk about themselves; most people love to do that.

start a topic by asking them a question about something that happened to you today, so lets say you walked home in the rain, talk to them bout that, ask them if he/she also walked home, what was the effect from walking home, all that crap!

start with something simple. the place your at, the weather, something they are wearing, or just walk up to them and ask them what they are thinking. there is about 1000 diffrent things.
