From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   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.
  
               Provide neither gold nor silver, nor brass, in your
               purses, nor scrip for your journey.         --Matt. x. 9,
                                                                              10.
  
               Where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt. --Matt. vi.
                                                                              20.
  
               I love him not, nor fear him.                  --Shak.
  
               Where neither party is nor true, nor kind. --Shak.
  
               Simois nor Xanthus shall be wanting there. --Dryden.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [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)
