Can you plug headphones into electric guitars?

Most guitars no however you can plug them into an amp and plug the guitar in. NO you can't and i would not even try!! You could plug them into the amp though!! The above person is semi correct. For a typical guitar you would have to go through some sort of device (such as an amp) in order to provide power to the headphones, however I have a guitar that I can plug my headphones directly into the audio jack by using an adapter to get the 1/4inch(i think that's right) guitar jack into a 3.5mm jack(used by most headphones) as my guitar has a built in preamp. Please note this is a custom ordered guitar that I am using.

Is there a way to record music from your keyboard to your computer without using a microphone?

You can use a 1/4 Phone plug to USB (sound card built in) adapter. They sell them at Target in the music section of the electronics department for about $39. You can also use it to record an electric guitar, too. Another technique is to use a MIDI adapter and utilize the synthesizer that is built in to your computer. You then just select the recording source as SYNTH on your start/all programs/accessories/entertainment/volume control. Be sure to select the recording under properties.

What are the advantages to having a higher wattage ac adapter for a notebook?

You should not use a power adapter with a higher voltage output than the input rating on the computer. It can cause damage to the computer and the battery. You can use a lower voltage. If you do and you are using your computer, it might not charge but it will prolong the time you have before it runs out. If you do not use it, then it will charge but slower than with the correctly rated power adapter.
