Man, I've read to much Niven - without context, my first thought was ARM = The Amalgamated Regional Militia, from the Gil "The ARM" Hamilton stories that pre-date Ringworld.
I keep the mounting screws out of my laptop hard drive's carrier, so I can easily swap in multiple drives. If I ever visit China, I'll make sure to carry the drive with me at all times in my coat pocket unless I'm actually using my laptop! (Plus, I encrypt the entire drive with TrueCrypt.)
About a year ago, I switched from the Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 to the Logitech DiNovo Wireless Keyboard for Notebooks, which I believe matches your description of a full-size keyboard with laptop-style keys.
The typing experience is superb! Although the layout is slightly different from the classic 104 key standard, I found I was able to touch type from day one, including cursor keys, I am also able to type faster and with less fatigue. I often prop up the front edge on a wrist rest to gain a reverse tilt, which helps with wrist strain.
Although Logitech discontinued this model (I bought two for $20 at that time), they now offer two illuminated models with the same PerfectStroke key mechanism - one wired, one wireless, and both overpriced. I'm keeping an eye on DealNews to grab one when they briefly hit a reasonable price point.
RTFA, anyone?
In their study published in the journal Nature, scientists led by Qi Zhou of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing described how they injected reprogrammed mouse cells into an early-stage embryo to see whether the introduced cells contributed to the tissue of the eventual fetus. Of 37 stem-cell lines created by reprogramming, three yielded 27 live offspring. One of these pups, a seven-week-old male named "Tiny," mated with a female and produced young of its own.
How does injecting cells into an embryo, then verifying that the cells were incorporated into the adult animal, possibly constitute "[using] the resulting cells to create live mouse offspring."

Such as the latest Android and iPad tablets. Makes me wonder how the latest iPad displays the page in Safari in portrait mode.
Sounds very much like Saturn's moons Epimetheus and Janus, which interact and exchange orbits periodically. Wikipedia article
