  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

     sometimes in the first member for neither, and sometimes the
     neither is omitted and implied by the use of nor.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  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)
