Pretty much what other people have said

Heat the eggs up with the water...salt the water, though I don't think its nessacary, then once eggs are cooked to your preference (longer for harder boil shorter for softer) Immediately exchange the boiled water for cold water, or give them an ice bath.

To prevent extreme tempture change that may result in cracking I begin exchaning the hot water with cool water without empting the pot...exposing the eggs directly from hot to cold temptures has a good chance of cracking the shells, so only use the ice bath if you're going to let them cool down first.

I forgot the scientific reasons a while back, but I think it has something to do with the protein in the shell hardening and not creating the gluey bond it normally does with the membrane and the white.
