For instance college summer jobs...
Jobs that you may have had to tide you over until you found another real job.
That kind of thing...

Relevent jobs, and if you have more than enough to fill up one page, just list the best ones.

Yep.

Nobody wants to know you were a manwhore between June '03 and August '03, unless you're applying for another position as a manwhore.

Also not that a resume should never be longer then 2 pages unless it's inter company. I believe thats the rule...

So as you accumulate experience you drop things off the bottom.

Depends on how many jobs you've had before this one. If you have very few jobs it doesn't hurt if your employer knows you've been in the workforce from the time you were 15 or something. Shows that you know how to work.

Nope.
Door to door magazine salesman, adult store clerk, and Harley Davidson clutch cable assembly just don't feel right on an IT resume.

yeah one page is the rule, unless you have a ton of accomplishments that relate to the position in question
