Default Jack Stand Question

So I've decided to do my own oil changes and perhaps tackle some bolt-ons in the future. I bought two pairs of jack stands to get the car off the ground. Then while unpacking them, I see the label on the stands which says "should be used in pairs on ONE END OF THE VEHICLE ONLY. Should not be used on both ends together."

WTF? I was hoping I could get the car off the ground and level to empty the oil pan more thoroughly. Do you guys put jack stands on all four corners or just a pair in the front?

On a side note, it's a little creepy crawling under the jacked up car...lots of creaks and groans when it was going up. Boy would it suck if it came back down when I was under it...
