I took some eggs out of the fridge to bring them to room temperature, how long till they go bad?

I was getting ready to bake a cake and took some eggs out of the fridge to bring to room temperature, however, I got busy and couldn't bake the cake. Are the eggs still good? They are definitely room temperature now :P

How long? If it's been less than a day I'd be a-ok using them.

According to the StillTasty website: "Bacteria grow rapidly at temperatures between 40°F and 140 °F; raw eggs should be discarded if left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature."

And yet the English and other Europeans keep their eggs on the counter rather than the fridge. Personally, as long as the eggs are still in their shells, I would put them back in the fridge and perhaps mark them for thorough cooking only.
