  Nor  \Nor\,  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

  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [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)
