Could one of you english majors explain effect and affect to me?

With all the *****ing about then or than, their or they're someone should be able to answer this for me.

When you are writing a technical paper and you want to say something influences something else do you say x has an affect on y or x has an effect on y.

I looked them up in the dictionary and both definitions look right but I have a feeling one is wrong.

When do you say affect and when do you say effect?
