Do you need to have a wireless adapter on your computer plus an adapter on your XBox 360 to get XBox live?

No, what i did is i took the ethernet cable that came with my xbox, connected it to my laptop, and connected my laptop to the internet via wireless router. The only other way that doesn't involve a wireless adapter for your 360 is to connect your 360 to your computer via an ethernet cable (not sure if you need a router for this but i might as well list it), but the laptop-connect is the "most effecient/cheapest" way, and the adapter-connect is the "best connection/signal" way.

Do you need a special power adapter to network laptps to desktops?

No special power adapter is needed, because each device, is charged by it's own adapter. If laptops and desktops are connected by a wireless router, for example, the router will have it's own power adapter. However, to establish a wireless connection with a desktop , a laptop must have a wireless USB Wi-Fi adapter. This particular adapter has nothing to do with powering the device. It simply transmits signals to connect with a desktop, another laptop, PDA, cell phone, etc.
