"Yea" is pronounced "yay" and is a very formal affirmative, now used almost exclusively in sermons and parlimentary voting.
"Yeah" is the informal affirmative most people mean when they type "yea."

Its hard to recommend any certain one journal though. It should be easy to search the journals your college has access to online. On the other hand, if they don't have a certain journal you have a snowball's chance in hell of getting access to it. Also, depending on what you want there could be a huge difference. If you want AI in computer systems, several IEEE conference transcripts would be quite helpful. They'd be useless if you want to look into AI in medicine or from a psychological standpoint though. So its really up in the air.
If you don't have access to journals online, have fun in the library. You'll have quite a friendly relationship with your librarian heh. If you don't have access to journals at all, well... IMHO you're fucked. You're not going to get anything really scientific without that source of material.

Just so we can comply in the future, exactly where in the rules does it state anything about having to be on topic in a thread?
The rules state not to be a dickhead. Derailing a thread on the first post where the poster is honestly looking for information about something falls under that category.

I wasn't being a dickhead. As a matter of fact, one can find several other posts of the exact same nature on the front page alone. What derailed the thread was his poor reaction; the owner of the thread derailed it, not me.
In the future, I'll try to make it more obvious when I'm simply being helpful.
Thanks for the clarification.

If you're a college student (its not clear exactly), I'd recommend checking out your college's online library.

I really recommend that you see if you're college library has access to the journals online. It will make your life infinitely easier. Honestly, I'd be surprised if they didn't. Normally, if they have a subscription to the journal they'll be given online access as well. To not have one or the other is strange.

You baited him into it. He at first tried to roll with it until you said:

You're not one of the people who can do that and be funny.
I must have missed where that was being helpful? 
Don't even start. Your actions were uncivil, and I gave you a chance to back off by reminding you you weren't being funny.
How was it helpful or civil or not being a dick to deliberately flaunt being wrong after being politely corrected? And then again after I told you it wasn't funny? You chose to make it an issue.

Bullshit.
No one speaks with the intention of being corrected on their grammar, so your point is pointless. There is absolutely nothnig wrong with politely correcting someone when they make a mistake. It happens all the time around here, too.
Is it somehow your claim that all of the following off-topic posts are somehow my fault? How does that work?
Edit: showing someone how better to communicate their question or idea is perfectly constructive. It's also much more in the spirit of being helpful than posting movie posters for comedy value. Bloodsage fucked around with this message on 10-09-2004 at 09:01 AM.

Y'all sound like the kind of "friends" who wouldn't tell a guy he's got a big honkin' booger hanging out of his nose, for fear of hurting his feelings. Would you rather your friends told you when you looked stupid, or just let you go on looking stupid?

I was fine with it until Y.O.T.C. tried to shrug it off with a joke and you told him he can't be funny, then it looked to me like you were being a dick.

How was that shrugging it off with a joke?
When someone says, "Dude, you've got a huge booger hanging from your nose," you don't shrug and cock your head so folks get a better view.
