How long do hard-boiled eggs last outside the fridge? Forgot to refrigerate the eggs I boiled last night. Are they safe to eat?

Thanks to you both for the answers. I'll probably play it safe and toss -- we're only talking 2 eggs. My apartment is kept fairly warm.

The USDA says throw them away & this article explains why (so sad - I hate throwing food away!)

well it depends on what temperature u living in, if its a colder climate I think its ok.. imerse in hot water and have it. do check of any odour smell or something otherwise dont use it..
