  Nor \Nor\ (n[^o]r), conj. [OE. nor, contr. from nother. See
     Neither.]
     A negative connective or particle, introducing the second
     member or clause of a negative proposition, following
     neither, or not, in the first member or clause (as or in
     affirmative propositions follows either). Nor is also used
     sometimes in the first member for neither, and sometimes the
     neither is omitted and implied by the use of nor.

nor - Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (26 May 2007) :

  NOR
  
     Not OR.
  
     The Boolean function which is true if none of its inputs are
     true and false otherwise, the logical complement of
     inclusive OR.  The binary (two-input) NOR function can be
     defined (written as an infix operator):
  
     A NOR B = NOT (A OR B) = (NOT A) AND (NOT B)
  
     Its truth table is:
  
     	A | B | A NOR B
     	--+---+---------
     	F | F |    T
     	F | T |	   F
     	T | F |    F
     	T | T |    F
  
     NOR, like NAND, forms a complete set of Boolean functions on
     its own since it can be used to make NOT, AND, OR and any
     other Boolean function:
  
     NOT A = A NOR A
  
     A OR B = NOT (A NOR B)
  
     A AND B = (NOT A) NOR (NOT B)
